The effects of delayed interval testing on 54 college students' ability to identify 4 infants' cry-signals (birth, hunger, pain, and pleasure) were studied. Their ages ranged from 18 to 30 yr. and all were low in experience as caregivers to infants. 28 subjects with delayed interval testing of 72 hr. scored significantly higher than 26 control subjects who were given no training in recognizing the birth and pain cry-signals and in their over-all difference. They also scored higher but not significantly so, in recognizing the hunger cry-signal. A year later representative samples of both experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 11) groups were retested. The difference in the data remained the same, except for the birth cry-signal. The differences in the data remained the same, exept for the birth cry-signal. The results are discussed in terms of their consistency with previous studies. When compared to previous results, delayed interval testing of 72 hr. appears to be about as effective as immediate response training in the identification of infants' cry-signals.
研究了延迟间隔测试对54名大学生识别4种婴儿哭声信号（出生、饥饿、疼痛和愉悦）能力的影响。他们的年龄在18至30岁之间，且作为婴儿护理者的经验都很少。28名接受72小时延迟间隔测试的受试者在识别出生和疼痛哭声信号以及总体差异方面的得分显著高于26名未接受识别出生和疼痛哭声信号训练的对照组受试者。在识别饥饿哭声信号方面，他们的得分也更高，但差异不显著。一年后，对实验组（n = 15）和对照组（n = 11）的代表性样本进行了重新测试。除了出生哭声信号外，数据差异保持不变。结果根据其与先前研究的一致性进行了讨论。与先前结果相比，72小时的延迟间隔测试在识别婴儿哭声信号方面似乎与即时反应训练一样有效。
