In human newborns, presentation of sounds and odors under stress situations had a calming effect on behavioral and cortisol responses (Kawakami et al., 1996, 1997). These calming effects were examined with 10-day- and 15-day-old Japanese macaques. In Study 1, white noise presentation (Experimental conditions) at the blood sampling was compared with no sound presentation (Control conditions) at the blood sampling. White noise presentation has a calming effect on coded behavioral responses. In Study 2, lavender scent presentation (Experimental conditions) at the blood sampling was compared with no odor presentation (Control conditions) at the blood sampling. Lavender presentation has a calming effect on cortisol responses in the marginal level. From the data of these studies, the salivary cortisol levels were related to the cortisol levels in plasma. Our results may suggest the different effects of sound and odor on infant Japanese macaques.
在人类新生儿中，在应激情况下呈现声音和气味对行为和皮质醇反应具有 calming 作用（Kawakami 等人，1996 年，1997 年）。用 10 日龄和 15 日龄的日本猕猴研究了这些 calming 作用。在研究 1 中，将采血时呈现白噪音（实验条件）与采血时不呈现声音（对照条件）进行了比较。呈现白噪音对编码的行为反应有 calming 作用。在研究 2 中，将采血时呈现薰衣草气味（实验条件）与采血时不呈现气味（对照条件）进行了比较。呈现薰衣草对边缘水平的皮质醇反应有 calming 作用。从这些研究的数据来看，唾液皮质醇水平与血浆中的皮质醇水平相关。我们的结果可能表明声音和气味对日本猕猴幼崽有不同影响。
