Influence of auditory tempo on the endogenous rhythm of non-nutritive sucking
TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the perception of time in the first months of life and found that very young infants are sensitive to contextual modifications (which indicates that they perceive them).Abstract:
The aim of this study was to examine the perception of time in the first months of life. Does the perception of contextual temporal information (an auditory tempo) induce modifications in spontaneous motor behavior (in the present case, non-nutritive sucking behavior) at birth and at 2 months? Two auditory tempos were successively tested. The first was the same as the previously recorded spontaneous motor tempo (SMT); the second was 15% faster or 15% slower than the infant's SMT according to the group. Results showed that modification of the sucking tempo depended on age and contextual temporal information. Two-month-old infants were able to adapt their endogenous sucking rhythm to an external tempo if it was faster than their spontaneous rhythm. Results also confirmed that slowing down the sucking rate was difficult for both groups of infants. In sum, the results suggest that, to a certain extent, very young infants are sensitive to contextual modifications (which indicates that they perceive them). This study has thus identified certain features of the internal time base rate from birth which could help define a developmental internal clock model of contextual temporal processing.read more

TL;DR: The hypothesis is developed that an integrated approach focusing on biological, motor, emotional, and interpersonal rhythms may open interesting therapeutic perspectives for children with autism.

TL;DR: It is emphasized that randomized clinical trials in autism spectrum disorders are warranted to establish potential therapeutic efficacy of melatonin for social communication impairments and stereotyped behaviors or interests.

Rhythm perception, production, and synchronization during the perinatal period.
TL;DR: Findings suggest that the interaction between movement and sound is present at birth and that SMS can be observed in special conditions and within a narrow range of tempi, particularly near the infant’s own spontaneous motor tempo.

Structure and Interpretation of Rhythm in Music
TL;DR: This chapter reviews the temporal aspects of music perception and cognition and gives an overview of rhythm, meter, timing, and tempo from a music theoretical and cognitive perspective.
Developmental neuroscience of time and number: implications for autism and other neurodevelopmental
TL;DR: A review of the development of time and number sense across infancy and childhood, and neuropsychological findings as they relate to time and counting discrimination in infants and adults is presented in this article, couched within a mode-control model of timing and counting which assumes time and numbers share a common magnitude representation system.

TL;DR: The neonate's preference for the maternal voice suggests that the period shortly after birth may be important for initiating infant bonding to the mother.

Scalar timing in memory.
TL;DR: The generalized account proposed here will develop the conclusion that scalar sources dominate in some time ranges, while other sources may dominate in others, and are applied to two additional timing tasks with different characteristics.
