Abstract

MELSON, WILLIAM H., and MCCALL, ROBERT B. Attentional responses of five-month girls to discrepant auditory stimuli. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1970, 41, 1159-1171. An 8-note standard tonal sequence was presented 8 times to 48 girls 5 months of age. Following this familiarization phase, a series of small or large discrepancies from that standard were presented. Attention in terms of cardiac deceleration to the discrepancies was greater if infants habituated during the familiarization phase than if they did not, and attention was greater if the discrepancy was large than if it was small in magnitude. The response to auditory stimuli could also be predicted by the looking pattern displayed by subjects to a set of visual stimuli given prior to the auditory episode.
