Physical Growth and Physiological Aspects of Development

“…It is apparent that electroencephalography has been widely used during this period in studies of child development (57,66) for the following purposes: (a) for the establishment of normal patterns for various age malities (25,60,119); (c) for the study of cerebral electrical dysrhythmias associated with epilepsy (80); (d) for the study of special serious behavior problems (98); and (e) for the determination of the effects on brain waves of various stimuli and psychologic states (59). In the future, encephalography may well bear additional important fruit when it is applied to the study of learning and problem-solving types of behavior.…”

Chapter VI: Physical Growth and Physiological Aspects of Development

“…The chief over-all cause was anoxia, and he dogmatically attributed this to the analgesic and anesthetic drugs used to relieve the pain of labor. Hughes (59) took an experimental approach to this problem and found that electroencephalograms of the newborn served as sensitive indicators of the effects of analgesics and anesthetics. His results to date seem very promising.…”
