“…Methods Used in Studying Behavior of Newborn Infants Study of the behavior of newborn infants has probably been responsible for the development of more apparatus than study of behavior during any other period of early childhood. (Richards and Irwin, 1934. ) This is due in part to the type of problems investigated and in part to the training and experience of the men who investigated the problems.…”

The author summarizes as follows: "(1) From the stimulus-receptor aspect there appears to be little specificity of behavior. (2) Most of the responses tend to involve most of the major segments of the body, and the participation of smaller parts is likewise quite conspicuous. (3) Therefore, the neonate manifests highly generalized rather than specific types of behavior. (4) A quantitative expression of stimulus-receptor-effector relations seems to offer the best means of comparing one response with another at a given age level, or the behavior observed at one age period with that at another age period. (5) The extreme "organismic' view of behavior tends to ignore the differentiation among responses which actually exists. (6) The opposite view of behavior as reflex in nature tends to focus attention upon what is happening in some particular segment and to ignore what is taking place in other parts of the organism. (7) Perhaps the solution of the problem of behavioral organization will be the indication of the relative degree of participation of different parts of the organism."
