Abstract Some studies indicate differences in self-regulatory behaviors of infants, depending on their gestational age. This paper aimed to compare interactive full-term and preterm infants the Face-to-Face Still-Face (FFSF) paradigm. Thirty prematurely born thirty were observed FFSF’s experimental procedure, which consists exposing infant two episodes interaction with mother plus another episo...

Recent studies have shown associations between maternal psychopathology and inhibited behaviors in infants. Moreover, physiological factors have been identified as affecting the continuity of behavioral inhibition across childhood. The purpose of the present study was to examine electroencephalogram (EEG) activity and inhibited behavior in 12-month-old infants of depressed versus non-depressed ...
