2. 16. Visual motor development in full term and preterm infants

   Author : Helena Grönqvist; Claes von Hofsten; Kerstin Rosander; Audrey van der Meer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; infant development; smooth pursuit; eye tracking; reaching; preterm infants; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Smooth tracking and efficient reaching for moving objects require the ability to predict the velocity and trajectory of the object. This skill is important to be able to perceive human action and object motion in the world. This thesis explores early visual motor development in full term and preterm infants. READ MORE

4. 17. When, Where and What : The Development of Perceived Spatio-Temporal Continuity

   Author : Olga Kochukhova; Claes Von Hofsten; Richard Aslin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Psychology; infants; occlusion; incomplete visual information; saccadic gaze shifts; smooth pursuit; temporal; spatial; object representation; learning; extrapolation; Psykologi;

   Abstract : This thesis explored the development of infants’ ability to preserve spatio-temporal continuity of moving objects in situations where they disappeared completely (Study I & II) or partially (Study III) behind other objects (occluders). We recorded infants gaze direction with the help of two different techniques: 1) infants’ gaze shifts in Study I were measured with electro-oculogram (EOG) in combination with a motion analyzing system (Qualisys) that recorded the reflected infrared light from markers placed on the infant’s head and the moving object; 2) in Studies II and III a cornea reflection eye tracker was used (Tobii 1750) .

5. 18. Cholestasis in infants at risk

   Author : Jonas Teng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cholestasis is a condition when bile flow from the liver to the intestines is impaired. Unresolved, it may lead to liver transplantation or death. Overall, it affects 1 out of 2500 term infants, but is far more common in high-risk infants with other conditions such as prematurity and hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). READ MORE

6. 19. Promoting health in premature infants : with special focus on skin-to-skin contact and development of valid pain assesment

   Author : Emma Olsson; Mats Eriksson; Agneta Anderzen-Carlsson; Gunilla Ahlsén; Carina Sparud Lundin; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Near-infrared spectroscopy; Neonatal intensive care; Pain assessment; Premature infant; Skin-to-skin contact;

   Abstract : Premature infants are at greater risk for both short- and long-term negative outcomes than infants born at full term. Premature infants have an immature nervous system and are not developmentally prepared to process the often excessive stimuli and frequent painful procedures of intensive care. READ MORE

7. 20. Gaze Following in Infancy : Mechanisms and Developmental Context

   Author : Kim Astor Währborg; Gustaf Gredebäck; Gergely Csibra; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Gaze following; Eye-tracking; Infants; Mechanisms; Culture; Joint visual attention; Social environment; Theories; Attention sharing; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Few things are as fundamental to humans as the ability to share attention. It allows us to coordinate our actions with, and assimilate knowledge from, the actions of others with remarkable efficiency and accuracy. This ability emerges in infancy and sets the stage for all subsequent social development. READ MORE
