Demonstrates some of the research
results obtained from the application of the
Cambridge Behavioral and Neurological
Assessment Scales to normal newborns in
hospital nurseries. Indicates that there are
standard differences in temperament or
behavior among babies from different
ethnic backgrounds -- Caucasian, Navajo,
Aborigine, African -- and that such
differences among humans are biological
as well as cultural. Tests include the Moro
startle response, the newborn's wailing
response, and the infant's ability to control
its head and neck muscles.
