Newborn sucking behavior and its relation to grasping

Infant Behavior and Development, 1991
Abstract Previous reports have suggested a synchrony between sucking and grasping behaviors in human newborns. This was studied by measuring sucking during grasping and nongrasping and under two fluid conditions. Grasping (traction) was induced and recorded through use of a cylindrical rod suspended from a pressure transducer, allowing continuous ...

Reinforcement from the sucking environment and subsequent modification of sucking behavior in the human neonate

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
Abstract The reinforcing aspects of sucking behavior in 36 human newborns was examined in a limited instrumental conditioning paradigm where sucking was both operant and reinforcer. During training, response density (rate based on sucking opportunity time) and latency were measures of two components of nonnutritive sucking, contingent negative ...

EFFECTS OF NON-NUTRITIVE SUCKING ON NUTRITIVE SUCKING, BREATHING, AND BEHAVIOR DURING BOTTLE FEEDINGS OF PRETERM INFANTS

Advances in Neonatal Care, 2004
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of prefeeding non-nutritive sucking (NNS) on breathing, nutritive sucking (NS), and behavioral characteristics of bottle feeding.The convenience sample was composed of 10 preterm infants who were 33 to 40 weeks postconceptual age (PCA) at the time of the observation.Randomized, crossover; each infant ...

Effect of Nutrient upon the Sucking Behavior of Newborn Infants

Psychosomatic Medicine, 1967
Neonatal sucking behavior varies as a function of the nutrient used. Test feedings showed significant intertrial consistency and significant intrainfant reliability of repeated measures of newborn sucking for milk formula, but not of repeated measures of sucking for corn syrup solution.

Nonnutritive Sucking Modulates Behavioral State for Preterm Infants Before Feeding

Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, 1992
ABSTRACT. Forty‐two pre‐term infants were studied to determine the effect of nonnutritive sucking pre‐feeding on behavioral state. Infants were randomly assigned to pacifier or rest groups. Pacifiers or rest were given for 5 minutes following routine caregiving and before each of the first 16 bottle feedings.

Sucking Behavior of Preterm Neonates As a Predictor of Developmental Outcomes

Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, 2009
The relationship between the pattern of sucking behavior of preterm infants during the early weeks of life and neurodevelopmental outcomes during the first year of life was evaluated.The study sample consisted of 105 preterm infants (postmenstrual age [PMA] at birth = 30.5 +/- 2.8 weeks [mean +/- SD]; birth weight = 1476 +/- 460 g; mean length of ...

Behavior of Sucking Disks Under Vertical and Tangential Load

World Tribology Congress III, Volume 2, 2005
The behavior of sucking disks, used to stabilize human tissue during surgeries, was investigated using conventional plastic sucking disks. The contact load to control a sustainable tangential load was calculated from the pressure and area of the internal cavity and the normal load.

Nutritive and nonnutritive sucking and the temporal organization of the sucking behavior of domestic piglets

Developmental Psychobiology, 1989
AbstractDetailed video recordings of the sucking behavior of one piglet from each of four litters were analyzed to determine how the components of piglet suckling behavior are organized in relation to the time of milk ejection and the temporal pattern of grunting by the sow.
