INFANT DEVELOPMENT IN THE ZINACANTECO INDIANS OF SOUTHERN MEXICO

Brazelton, T. B., Robey, John S., Collier, George A.·1969·Pediatrics

Abstract

Neonatal observations and monthly tests of development administered to southern Mexican Indian infants in the first 9 months were coupled with observations in their homes. The behavior of the neonates was strikingly different from Caucasian infants in North America. The mothering practices seemed to reinforce their quiet alertness. Despite little opportunity to practice or "learn" motor and cognitive tasks, the infants' development paralleled that of babies in the United States, but it was delayed by 1 month. The importance of understanding genetic and innate characteristics, as well as environmental influences, in accounting for differences in development among individuals and cultures is emphasized by this paper.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
