Stabilities of infant behaviors and maternal responses to them

SummaryPaired blood samples were obtained from mothers (venous) and babies (cord venous blood) at the time of delivery by caesarean section under epidural anaesthetic. Fetal platelets failed to aggregate in response to adrenaline in vitro although adrenaline could potentiate the threshold response to adenosine diphosphate (1 μM). Fetal platelet responses to collagen and 8 Arg vasopressin did not differ significantly from maternal responses. Maternal and fetal platelets also showed similar inhibition of aggregation after activation of adenylate cyclase (PGE1 and parathormone), in contrast to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase by adrenaline.Alpha2 adrenoceptors were investigated using [3H] yohimbine binding receptor number and were reduced modestly but significantly on fetal compared to maternal platelets. The failure of fetal platelet aggregation in response to adrenaline appears to be related to a failure of receptor coupling and may represent a delayed maturation of fetal platelet alpha receptors or a response- to increased circulating catecholamines during birth.

Live Presentation

Sensitivity to interpersonal timing was assessed in mother–infant interaction. In Study 1, 3-month-old infants interacted with their mothers over television and the mothers’ audio-visual presentation was either live or temporally delayed by 1 second. Infants gazed longer when the mother was presented live compared to delayed by 1 second, indicating that they detected the temporal delay. In Study 2, mothers interacted with their 3-month-old infants over television and the infants’ audio-visual presentation was either live or temporally delayed by 1 second. Mothers’ behavior was not altered by a 1-second delay in their infants’ behavior compared to a live presentation. In Study 3 and 4, the results were replicated with 6-month-old infants. Whereas infants detected the temporal delay in maternal responses, mothers likely adjusted to the delay in infant behavior. The discussion focuses on the role of interpersonal timing for detecting social contingency in dyadic and triadic communication.

Feeding Behaviours

This study sought to identify parent-feeding behaviours in real-life difficult feeding situations through the use of a set of scenarios. These were then used to examine links between parent feeding and child snack intake. Mothers of children aged 2–7 years ( n = 611) completed an online survey containing five snack food request scenarios, two commonly used parent-feeding scales (Restriction and Covert Control), and reported on their child’s snack intake. Results showed that parent-feeding styles (restrictive or covert) translated into specific behaviours in response to the scenarios. These parent behaviours predicted children’s intake of unhealthy snack food over and above the feeding style.

Child Gesture

Purpose This study examined the gesture use of 14-month-old toddlers with hearing loss (HL) and mothers' responses to children's early gesture use. Comparisons were made to symbolic language and to dyads in which the toddler had normal hearing (NH). Method Participants were 25 mother–toddler dyads in which the child had HL and a socioeconomic-status matched group of 23 mother–toddler dyads in which the child had NH. Thirty-minute mother–child interactions were video-recorded, transcribed for spoken language, sign, and gesture use, and coded for maternal responses to children's gestures. Mothers also reported on children's gestural and spoken language abilities. Results Toddlers with HL used gesture similarly to their peers with NH, but demonstrated delays in spoken language. Spoken language and gesture were not significantly related for either group. Hearing levels were related to spoken language, but not gesture for the HL group. Maternal and child gesture were only related for signing mothers. Mothers of children with HL were more likely than their counterparts to provide no response to children's gestures. Conclusion Although toddlers' gesture abilities remain intact in the presence of HL, mothers were not maximally responsive to those gestures and thus should be coached to increase their provision of contingent feedback.
