“…Reports of congenital contributors to sensory-motor development are not limited to populations showing pathology. Kagan and Garn (1963) have reported that chest width measured from roentgenographic films of parents or their children is positively correlated with the children's perceptual-motor and language development in the preschool years.…”

Studies are summarized indicating that the basic model of socialization, the action of a parent on a child, is too limited to accommodate data emerging from recent studies of human and animal Ss. A set of propositions is presented concerning the effects of congenital factors in children on parent behavior. This system is applied to current findings in several major areas. Current literature on socialization, based largely on correlations between parent and child behavior, can be reinterpreted plausibly as indicating effects of children on parents. A correlation does not indicate direction of effect. The effect of children on parents can no longer be dismissed as only a logical but implausible alternative explanation of a correlation.

“…Data on the total muscle mass are wholly lacking, and it remains to be seen whether urinary creatinines or arm/leg/thigh muscle volumes as radiogrammatically determined predict the whole with sufficient efficiency to be useful. Yet partial muscle volumes and urinary creatinines on a controlled diet do provide approaches to the study of nutritional and genetic determinants of the total muscle mass and their changes during the growing p e r i~d .~~,~~ With the main emphasis so far on methods, the functional correlates of 45 KG. variations in body composition have been little explored except, of course, for fat.…”
