   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; infant social looking; emotional facial expressions; experience; identity; behavior regulation; head-mounted cameras; eye-tracking; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to study how infants actively look at different social figures: parents and strangers. To study infants’ looking behavior in “live” situations, new methods to record looking behavior were tested. Study 1 developed a method to record looking behavior in “live” situations: a head-mounted camera. READ MORE

4. 7. Infants’ Knowledge of Occluded Objects: Evidence of Early Spatiotemporal Representations

   Author : Gustaf Gredebäck; Claes von Hofsten; Janette Atkinson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; infants; occlusion; gaze; object representations; temporal; spatial; associative rule; extrapolation; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : This thesis demonstrates that infants represent temporarily non-visible, or occluded, objects. From 4 months of age, infants could accurately predict the reappearance of a moving object after 660 ms of non visibility; indicating accurate spatiotemporal representations. READ MORE

6. 9. Regulation of innate and acquired immunity in infants by commensal bacteria

   Author : Helen Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : intestinal microflora; commensal; antigen-presenting cells; dendritic cells; CD25 regulatory T cells; allergy; infants; Staphylococcus aureus;

   Abstract : The incidence of atopic diseases in children is steadily increasing in the industrialised world along with an improved hygienic lifestyle.

7. 10. Early identification of motor problems in very preterm infants : An evaluation of the Structured Observation of Motor Performance in Infants

   Author : Cecilia Montgomery; Lena Hellström-Westas; Kristina Persson; Katarina Strand Brodd; Ann-Christin Eliasson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : motor performance; very preterm infants; movement quality; motor competence; radiology; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

   Abstract : Infants born very preterm are at risk of adverse neurodevelopment. It is important to identify motor problems early to initiate interventions aiming at ameliorating outcomes. Evaluating motor development in high-risk infants is a complex task. There is a need for assessment methods for early identification of abnormal motor performance. READ MORE
