I have adapted and used the Nestle infant formula incident, but I'd like to have something more recent, in English. Thanks

I am doing my Masters on Teachers Perspectives on Integrating Music in the Infant Classroom - with non-specialist classroom teachers. I have found it very difficult to find specific material on the area especially recent. I have been looking at Dewey, Constuctivist theorists of Piaget and Vygotsky as well as Gardiner as seminal works and quite interested in Bruner's four styles of integration as a practical way of viewing what really happens in the classroom. The areas I am looking at are: The role of music in teaching and learning in other subjects, Music as a classroom management tool and in setting up the classroom environment (transitions, classroom rituals etc), The role of the teacher in implementing integration and the challenges of Integrating music. Recommendations of studies on any of these areas would be greatly appreciated.

I use the word 'attunement', but I am well aware that various terminologies have been employed to indicate almost identical concepts: mirroring, affect mirroring, affect attunement, etc. so all theoretical perspectives are welcome!

Are there any studies or publications regarding the optimal duration of a nap, for infants to regain their best performance/homeostasis?

Thank you!

I am collecting cases of neonatal paroxysmal ocular movements with electrophysiological studies

I'm looking at measuring motivated locomotion (straight-line walking, etc.) in infant mice to assess prefrontal cortex development. I can't find any studies that use this type of assay or anything else to measure behavioral effects of prefrontal cortex development in mice this young. Is it even possible at this age?

Hello all!

I am looking into conducting field research on young infant/toddler's (age 8-30 months) social interactions with same-aged and mixed-aged peers. I am struggling to find much (if any) previous research on the topic. Have any of you read/heard of any studies that have been done that are even remotely related, or do you have any suggestions of authors/investigators to look into?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

In eye-movement tracking studies with babies, it is sometimes difficult to get a perfect calibration. I wonder if there are well-established criteria, thresholds or recommendations for excluding calibrations.

Any input - tutorials, method reviews or drawn from researchers' own experience would be very helpful.

Second, has anyone experienced slighted shifted calibrations (i.e. experimenter perceives that the baby is looking at the right target but the ET maps the eye-mvt with a shift, e.g. to the right direction probably due to issue with the initial calibration)? Are there ways to correct those or shall the participants' data be discarded?

What are the studies showing in bacteria growth?

I would like information on incubators for premature babies that incorporate sensors to measure light intensity, noise level, humidity, and temperature, and that incorporate a system of small speakers. Do you have information about it? Any hospital center that uses them? Have studies of the behavior of premature infants been carried out to different sound or musical fragments?
