چکیده

Visually-evoked potentials (VEPs) were recorded from infants between the ages of 2 and 11 months in response to 2.5 c/deg main axis and oblique square wave gratings. The oblique effect first appears at 3 months of age; some infants showed smaller VEP amplitude and/or longer VEP latency for obliquely oriented gratings. Regarding the age of onset of the oblique effect, VEP data from this study agree with the results obtained with preferential looking (PL) studies which have directly paired vertical and oblique gratings, but the current study found that fewer infants show an oblique effect by VEP than by PL.

Parallel processing in human audition and post-lesion plasticity

Recent activation and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that sound recognition and localization are processed in two distinct cortical networks that are each present in both hemispheres. Sound recognition and/or localization may be, however, disrupted by purely unilateral damage, suggesting that processing within one hemisphere may not be sufficient or may be disturbed by the contr...

Effects of Motor Development Stimulation on Anthropometric Indices of Infants Aged 1-12 Months in Foster Care Homes

Background: The first three years of life have a pivotal role in growth and development of infants. Extra-uterine environment largely affects brain development of infants during the first year of life.However,no specific programs are available for brain development stimulation in foster homes. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of motor development stimulation package on anthropometr...

An "Oblique Effect" in infants' haptic perception of spatial orientations.

The present research addresses the question of the "oblique effect" (better discrimination of the vertical orientation than of an oblique orientation) in manual haptic perception of orientations (without visual control) by 5-month-old infants. A familiarization/reaction to novelty procedure was used. The results revealed the occurrence of a haptic oblique effect. These findings are similar to t...

The effect of training of behavior observation based care to the mother on intraventricular hemorrhages and ventilation period of preterm infant

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhages and respiratory distress syndrome are two common diseases in preterm infants. Observation-based care, may reduce the rate of these complications through energy saving, diminishing apnea periods and cerebral blood flow changes. Aim: to evaluate the effect of behavior observation-based care training for mothers on intraventricular hemorrhages and ventilati...
