The effects of unimodal and multimodal stimulation on mental, psychomotor, and behavioral development of healthy full-term infants were examined longitudinally. Subjects were randomly assigned to a control group or one of three experimental conditions: daily administration of a stroking procedure, placement on a multisensory hammock during sleep periods, or a combination of the two treatments. Interventions were conducted during the first 3 months of life. Data are presented on 49 infants who were available for 24-month follow up. The experimental conditions did not significantly affect scores on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. Eyberg's Child Behavior Inventory, the Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scales, or the HOME. These findings suggest that supplementary stimulation provided no benefits beyond those associated with natural caregiving and raise questions about the value of the interventions with nonrisk infants in middle-class families. Additional studies need to be conducted with larger samples of healthy infants to test sensory stimulation protocols before they are advocated for widespread consumer use.
对健康足月儿进行纵向研究，考察单峰刺激和多峰刺激对其心理、心理运动及行为发育的影响。将受试者随机分为对照组或三种实验条件之一：每日进行抚摸操作、睡眠期间置于多感官吊床上，或两种治疗方法联合使用。干预在出生后的前3个月进行。给出了49名可进行24个月随访婴儿的数据。实验条件对贝利婴儿发育量表、艾伯格儿童行为量表、护理儿童评估教学量表或家庭环境观察量表的得分无显著影响。这些发现表明，补充刺激除了与自然护理相关的益处外并无其他好处，并引发了对于中产阶级家庭中对无风险婴儿进行干预的价值的质疑。在提倡将感官刺激方案广泛应用于消费者之前，需要对更多健康婴儿样本进行额外研究以测试这些方案。
