Exploration or imitation? The effect of music on 4-week-old infants' tongue protrusions.
نویسنده
چکیده
In a newborn imitation paradigm, an auditory stimulus--music--replaced the standard adult behavioral model. Alternating intervals of music and silence affected 4-week-old infants' rates of tongue protruding--evidence that tongue protruding is a general response to interesting distal stimuli.

Long-term memory, forgetting, and deferred imitation in 12-month-old infants.
Long-term recall memory, as indexed by deferred imitation, was assessed in 12-month-old infants. Independent groups of infants were tested after retention intervals of 3 min, 1 week and 4 weeks. Deferred imitation was assessed using the 'observation-only' procedure in which infants were not allowed motor practice on the tasks before the delay was imposed. Thus, the memory could not have been ba...
متن کاملOral Motor Indexes in Iranian 4- to 9-month-old infants: A short report
Introduction: Examination of oral motor indices in infants helps treatment team members identify infants who are delayed in these indices earlier and use the order of occurrence of these indices in normal infants as a criterion for treating infants with motor delay. Literature shows that oral movement indices are different in different races, cultures, and languages. The aim of this study was t...
متن کاملTesting the arousal hypothesis of neonatal imitation in infant rhesus macaques
Neonatal imitation is the matching of (often facial) gestures by newborn infants. Some studies suggest that performance of facial gestures is due to general arousal, which may produce false positives on neonatal imitation assessments. Here we examine whether arousal is linked to facial gesturing in newborn infant rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). We tested 163 infants in a neonatal imitation pa...
متن کاملThe Wiley - Blackwell Handbook 01 Inlant Development
Humans are inherently social. We live in complex societies, navigate intricate social interactions, and rapidly learn from those around us. We have a special adaptation that supports this-the ability to learn from observing others. Instead of having to rely on trial and error learning (which can be dangerous) or on independent invention (which can be slow), we profit from others' examples, incl...
متن کاملThe role of objects and effects in action imitation: Comparing the imitation of object-related actions vs. gestures in 18-month-old infants.
This study aimed to systematically investigate 18-month-old infants' imitation of object-related actions compared to motorically similar gestures. An additional goal of the study was to examine the role of action effects on infants' imitation of target actions. One group of infants (n=17) observed object-related actions and gestures leading to salient effects (sounds or visual resp. social effe...
