The Relation between Variations in Pitch and Maternal Perceptions of Infant Crying.
Zeskind, Philip Sanford; Marshall, Timothy R.
Child Development, v59 n1 p193-96 Feb 1988
Examines the relation between aspects of the fundamental frequency (basic pitch) of 16 infant newborn cries and 28 multiparous mothers' perceptions of those cries. Results support the hypothesis that increases in fundamental frequency are related to increases in maternal perceptions of the intensity of the infant's cry. (Author/RWB)
