“…This process may reflect the adaptive reallocation of resources to the SNS, which helps mobilize the individual to respond to challenge (Beauchaine, 2001;Gunnar, Porter, Wolf, Rigatuso, & Larson, 1995;Wilson & Gottman, 1996). Thus, greater RSA withdrawal during stressful or challenging situations reflects more-effective physiological regulation (Porges, Doussard-Roosevelt, Portales, & Greenspan, 1996). Conversely, increases in RSA to stress, or maintaining consistent levels of RSA throughout stressful encounters may reflect less efficient physiological regulation, or may be due in part to lower behavioral engagement or perceived distress in response to the emotional or cognitive demands of an encounter (Porges, 2007).…”

THE EFFECTS OF MATERNAL RESPIRATORY SINUS ARRHYTHMIA AND BEHAVIORAL ENGAGEMENT ON MOTHER-CHILD PHYSIOLOGICAL COREGULATIONParent-child coregulation, observed as the active organization and coordination of parents' and children's behavioral and physiological states, is an important precursor for children's developing self-regulation, but we know little about how individual parent factors shape parent-child coregulation. We examined whether differences in maternal physiology and behavioral engagement were associated with coregulation of mothers' and their 3-year-old children's physiological states over time. We examined coregulation in real time by modeling maternal and child respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) for 47 families across 18 minutes of dyadic interaction using multilevel coupled autoregressive models fitted in Mplus. Maternal basal RSA, maternal teaching, and maternal behavioral disengagement were each entered as between-subjects predictors to determine the extent to which mother-child coregulation was strengthened or weakened by maternal factors. Whereas greater maternal teaching during the mother-child interaction was associated with stronger coregulation in mother and child RSA over time, maternal disengagement was related to weaker coregulation: specifically, there were moredivergent parent and child RSA at higher levels of maternal disengagement. Coregulation in mother-child RSA was also weakened when mothers' basal RSA was higher. Findings contribute to the emerging knowledge base on real-time patterns of parent-child coregulation and iii suggest a role for parent-child physiological coregulation as a mechanism by which parent factors support or hinder children's developing self-regulation.

“…Optimally, the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems should act in concert such that when sympathetic arousal (measured by HR in this study) increases in response to environmental challenge, there should be a decrease in parasympathetic activity (measured by RSA). This negative change in RSA from baseline to environmental challenge is associated with more optimal state regulation in infancy (DeGangi et al, 1991), decreased behavior problems in preschool-aged children (Porges, Doussard-Roosevelt, Portales, & Greenspan, 1996), and more adaptive behavior during attention and affect eliciting tasks in both preschool and school-aged children (Calkins, 1997;Suess, Porges, & Plude, 1994), and during social approach (Stifter & Corey, 2001). Thus, the measurement of change in RSA from baseline to challenging situations is an important concurrent and predictive index of parasympathetic regulation in infants.…”

This study examined the association between prenatal exposure to cocaine and autonomic regulation at 7 months of age. Heart rate (HR) and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) were obtained from 154 (79 exposed, and 75 nonexposed) infants during baseline and tasks designed to elicit positive and negative affect. Cocaine-exposed infants had higher HR during the positive affect task. There was a significant suppression of RSA during the negative affect task for nonexposed infants but not for exposed infants. Fetal growth and maternal caregiving behavior did not mediate or moderate this association. These results provide additional support for an association between prenatal cocaine exposure and dysregulation during infancy.

Introduction: Regulatory disorders (RDs) are manifested by sensorimotor, sleep, feeding and adaptation abnormalities in the first three years of life, which seem to indicate future child development problems. There is evidence that RDs are related to attention, learning and behavioral problems that are observed at school age. Therefore, it is important to invest in resources that enable their early detection. The objective of this study was to describe the process of creating a questionnaire to detect atypical behavior suggestive of RDs, among 6 to 12-month-old infants. Method: The instrument was developed in two stages: (a) planning and constructing the test and (b) content validity examination through an expert panel consisting of researchers and professionals with recognized experience in the field. Results: The data indicated that the topic is relevant and that, according to the scores from the panel, the items in the questionnaire are easily observed (96.8%), clearly written (94.5%), assess important aspects of behavior (89.6%) and can potentially detect atypical behavior in 6 to 12-month-old infants (85.4%). Conclusion: Based on this study, the items were reviewed, resulting in a questionnaire with 50 items that will be applied experimentally in future work. It is expected that the questionnaire will be useful for early detection of problems that affect a great number of children.
