The Development of Visual Attention in Infancy
TL;DR: This review delineates four attentional functions (alertness, spatial orienting, attention to object features, and endogenous attention) that are relevant to infancy and uses these functions as a framework for summarizing the developmental course of attention in infancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotional Regulation and Emotional Development
TL;DR: In this article, a developmental outline of emotional regulation and its relation to emotional development throughout the life-span is provided, including a parent's direct intervention strategies, selective reinforcement and modeling processes, affective induction and the caregiver's ecological control of opportunity for heightened emotion and its management.

The relative efficacy of contact and vestibular-proprioceptive stimulation in soothing neonates.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the soothing effects usually attributed to contact comfort may be largely a function of vestibular-proprioceptive stimulation which attends most contacts between mother and child.

Sleeping and waking states in infants: a functional perspective
TL;DR: General Systems Theory is proposed as a perspective for viewing behavioral states and for describing their function as a behavioral system within the infant's larger social system, to support the usefulness of this state taxonomy for describing infants and for investigating the functions of state.

Preference for shapes of intermediate variability in the newborn human.
TL;DR: Newborn humans presented with pairs of shapes, each shape differing in number of turns (angles), prefer shapes with 10 turns to shapes with 5 turns or 20 turns, as inferred from photographic recordings of eye fixations.
