Physical and social environment of newborn infants in special care units

AW Gottfried, P Wallace-Lande, S Sherman-Brown, J King, C Coen, and JE Hodgman

Infants in newborn intensive and convalescent care units are exposed to large amounts of sensory stimulation of various sorts. Although infants in these units do not lack visual, auditory, and tactile stimulation, they receive relatively infrequent coordinated sensory experiences. Furthermore, there is no diurnal rhythmicity in physical and social stimulation across days.
