Intertrial intervals and visual habituation in neonates.

Eighteen 3-day-old human neonates were shown a 12 by 12 black-white checkerboard target for 45-sec. trials with either a 10-, 20-, or 30-sec. intertrial interval until their visual fixation time decreased to a set criterion for habituation. On subsequent recovery trials, a 2 by 2 black-white checkerboard target received significantly longer fixations from boys in the 10-sec. and girls in the 20-sec. conditions. 30-sec. intervals, however, produced little habituation and recovery. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Reaching emotionally disturbed children: 'judo' principles in remedial education.

The importance of the interpersonal meanings of symptomatology, especially as they relate to issues of control in therapy, is explored across a wide variety of treatment approaches. It is concluded that the often destructive behavior of distrubed adolescents may be viewed not simply as pathology to be altered, but as potential strength to be channeled. Implications for therapeutic technique are discussed, and examples are offered.
