Infants' reasoning about collision events
The present research investigated young infants' understanding of events in which a moving object collides with a stationary object. In the first set of experiments, 2.5-month-old infants were presented with collision and no-collision events. In the collision events, a cylinder rolled down a ramp …

Respiratory distress in newborn infants
The greatest less of infant life occurs around the time of birth (Eliet, 1958) and the mortality rate for first day deaths has shown less improvement than for any other time during the first year (Arey and Dent, 1953). "Once the human feetus has attained a gestational age permitting extra-uterine …

Concurrent Schedule Performance with Young Infants
… Procedure. During daily sessions, three young infants were exposed to several concurrent variable-interval schedules. A mobile rotation, contingent on a foot kick, was occasionally available on each schedule component. Head turns served as the changeover response. Relative time allocation was …

Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of High Risk Infants
Background: Infant developmental research has revealed amazing physical, cognitive, and social capacities of the human infant. Along with this knowledge is a growing appreciation of numerous factors that have the potential to impact the individual infant's developmental trajectory, either enhancing …

Investigations of Pharmacokinetic Challenges in Premature Infants
<p>Premature infants (gestational age less than 37 weeks) are considered a vulnerable patient population due to their immaturity at birth. Currently, off-label prescribing is common in younger pediatric populations, especially in premature neonates and infants, which is a primary group receiving …
