Based on the presentations given by well-known specialists at a
recent multidisciplinary conference of developmental
psychobiologists, obstetricians, and physiologists, this book is
the first exhaustive attempt to synthesize the present scientific
knowledge on fetal behavior. Utilizing a psychobiological analytic
approach, it provides the reader with an overview of the
perspectives, hypotheses, and experimental results from a group of
basic scientists and clinicians who conduct research to elucidate
the role of fetal behavior in development. Experimental and
clinical as well as human and animal data are explored via
comparative developmental analysis. The ontogeny of fetal
spontaneous activity -- via the maturation of "behavioral states"
-- and of fetal responsiveness to sensory stimulation is studied in
detail. Results are provided from studies of embryonic/fetal and
newborn behavior in chicks, rats, sheep, primates, and humans.
Knowledge of fetal behavior is crucial to the obstetrician,
neonatologist, developmental psychologist, and even the future
parents, in order to follow and assess the gradual development of
spontaneous responsive movements of the fetus. While assessing this
important information, this text also examines the neuro-behavioral
events taking place during the fetal period as an aid to
understanding normal and pathological life span development.
