“…Several studies have linked high RSA in newborns with favorable developmental outcomes, suggesting that it may be an important physiological component of appropriate engagement with the environment (Hoffheimer, Wood, Porges, Pearson, & Lawson, 1995;Richards & Cameron, 1989). The suppression of RSA during demanding tasks may reflect physiological processes that allow the child to shift focus from internal homeostatic demands to demands that require internal processing or the generation of coping strategies to control affective or behavioral arousal.…”

Abstract:Self-regulatory processes are believed to be critical to early personality and behavioral adjustment. Such processes can be observed on multiple levels, including the physiological, attentional, emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal domains of functioning. Data from several longitudinal studies suggest links between early temperamental tendencies such as behavioral inhibition and frustration tolerance, and regulatory developments at the levels of physiological, attentional, and emotional regulation. Deficits in these particular levels of self-regulation may underlie childhood social withdrawal and aggression. Significant gaps remain in our knowledge of the pathways to disordered behavior and the role that self-regulation plays in such pathways. Suggestions are made for the ways in which future longitudinal studies might address these gaps. Article:During the last several years, the discipline of developmental psychopathology has produced a corpus of research underscoring the importance for social development and behavioral adjustment of individual differences in personality

“…Consistent with this notion, high resting RSA has been linked to appropriate emotional reactivity (Stifter & Fox, 1990), children's social engagement (Fox & Field, 1989), social competence (Eisenberg, Fabes, Murphy, Maszk, Smith, & Karbon, 1995), and enhanced attentional ability . Several studies have linked high RSA in newborns with positive developmental outcomes, suggesting that high RSA is an important physiological marker of appropriate engagement with the environment (Hofheimer, Wood, Porges, Pearson, & Lawson, 1995). In contrast children with low RSA have been considered at risk because they may have difficulty attending and reacting to environmental stimuli (Porges, 1991;Wilson & Gottman, 1996).…”

In press. Biological Psychology Disinhibited Behaviors 2 AbstractCardiac activity has long been considered as a psychophysiological marker of adaptive psychological adjustment. Irregularities in autonomic nervous system activity have long been implicated in both externalizing and disinhibitory behaviors. The present study used a battery of assessments in children ages 4.5-5.5 years to examine the relation among disinhibitory measures. Additionally, cardiovascular activity and reactivity was examined. Mothers rated impulsivity and internalizing/externalizing behaviors. Reward-dominance and passiveavoidance response inhibition (i.e., via errors of commission) tasks were included. Resultsshowed that behaviorally uninhibited children began with an attenuated sympathetic response (i.e., lengthened pre-ejection period) to an interview with a novel experimenter, while inhibited children began with a high level of sympathetic activity. Further, behavioral impulsivity was related to low sympathetic activity at rest. Consistent with theories of disinhibition, externalizing behaviors and measures of behavioral impulsivity were related to a reward-dominant response style. Findings are discussed with regard to motivational theories of behavior.

“…In 3 general, cardiac vagal tone acts to enhance homeostatic functions during states of low environmental demand and regulates cardiac output to support specific behaviors during times of environmental challenges (Porges, et al, 1996). Thus, RSA is believed to index vagal tone which contributes to the ability to respond emotionally to the environment (DiPietro & Porges, 1991;Hofheimer, Wood, Porges, Pearson, & Lawson, 1995). The only time that RSA does not reflect vagal tone seems to be when the body has high levels of inspired and arterial CO2, such as during intense activity.…”
