The usefulness of the auditory response cradle as a device to test perception of neonates was extended to include tactile as well as sound stimuli. Newborns received three types of trials: white noise, von Frey hair (heavy and light) or no stimulus (control) presentations. The motor and respiration response probabilities were calculated for each type of trial. There was roughly equivalent responding for auditory and tactile stimuli whilst the control response rate was significantly lower. The heavy von Frey hair was more likely to evoke a response than the light one. These results were taken as evidence that the auditory response cradle can be used to test neonatal perception in more than one modality.
听觉反应摇篮作为一种测试新生儿感知能力的装置，其用途得到了扩展，包括触觉以及声音刺激。新生儿接受了三种类型的试验：白噪声、不同粗细的von Frey毛发（粗和细）或无刺激（对照）呈现。计算了每种试验类型的运动和呼吸反应概率。对于听觉和触觉刺激，反应大致相当，而对照反应率则显著较低。粗的von Frey毛发比细的更有可能引发反应。这些结果被视为听觉反应摇篮可用于测试多种模态下新生儿感知能力的证据。
