Potential postural constraints on the development of lateralized hand-use in infancy 2010 1344 Lateralized hand-use is an easily observable sensorimotor skill that can be used as a model for the exploration of the development of differential functioning between the two cerebral hemispheres, or hemispheric lateralization. However, it has been a...
Manipulation of the Pre- and Post-Weaning Social Environment and its Effects on Prepulse Inhibition of the Acoustic Startle Response in C57BL/6 2008 2038 Pre-pulse inhibition (PPI) is a tool that may be used to identify how early life stress can result in a deficient adult nervous system (as represented by a deficit in sensorimotor gating). Since both animals and humans demonstrate a PPI, animal resea...
A re-evaluation of the effects of maternal care on offspring behavioral development 2011 1910 Recent studies of early handling in inbred mice do not replicate results from previous work in rats. In addition, studies using extended periods of dam-offspring separation suffer from a lack of consistency in behavioral, physiological and neuroanato...
The influence of sex and handedness on the development of constructing skills during infancy 2013 1408 Towards the end of their first year, infants are initially learning to construct objects. Construction, or merging multiple objects into a single, unifying structure, requires combining cognitive and sensorimotor abilities. Since infants with a hand ...
Does Handedness for Prehension Predict Handedness for Role-Differentiated Bimanual Manipulation During Infancy? 2008 2329 The clearly observable behaviors that identify infant hand-use preferences make the development of this sensorimotor form of lateralization a valuable model for evaluating the development of other forms of lateral asymmetries of function. The current...
Development of handedness for role-differentiated bimanual manipulation of objects in relation to the development of hand-use preferences for acquisition during infancy 2014 1627 Handedness development during infancy could be represented as a progressive expansion of a hand-use preference across a wider range of increasingly complex skills. The goal of the present study was to explore the development of role-differentiated bi...
Predicting child handedness from measures of infant and toddler handedness 2020 296 Cascade theory states that the development of hand preference for a simple action early in infancy will influence subsequent development of hand preference for more complex actions. To evaluate cascade theory, this study analyzed the relation of pref...
The relation between handedness for reaching and unimanual handedness from 6 to 14 months 2015 1055 Unimanual hand preference is a behavior in which one hand is used more often than the other when single-handedly manipulating objects. The progressive lateralization theory (Michel, 2002) of handedness proposes that handedness gradually concatenates ...
How does handedness affect the development of construction skill from 10-24 months? 2015 1045 The Cascade Theory of Handedness Development suggests that an individual’s hand preference results from a developmental history of cascading manual asymmetries for a variety of actions throughout infancy (Michel, 1983). Infants who consistently use t...
Some consequences for social behavior of perinatal asphyxia and c-section delivery of full term male rats 2014 1456 The process of birth (parturition) has a critical impact on normal human development. Any deviations from the typical parturition process are defined clinically as birth complications, and have been linked to the development of neurological deficits....
The development of a neural psychological immune endocrine model of tinnitus 2014 2086 The empirical and systematic implications of the physiological - endocrine and neural - processes underlying an individual's experience with tinnitus are not yet fully understood. Individual differences in reaction to stressful situations, including ...
