“…Stendler (1954) ventured a hypothetical description of such development on the basis of milestones identified by Gesell and Ilg (1943). Her account and those of others previously reported consist of reconstructions of infant behavior which are tied even less closely to direct observations than the reconstructions of infant experience made by psychoanalysts.…”

“…Routinized and compulsive-like behaviours are believed to have important adaptive functions in children's development, including reducing anxiety, fostering a sense of control, and practising classification skills (e.g., Gesell, Ames, & Ilg, 1974;Evans et al, 1997). However, there is some debate about the age at which these behaviours decline.…”

Background: Routinized and compulsive-like behaviours are very common in young children; however, previous studies have shown inconsistent results as to the age such behaviours decline. Another issue concerns any association with later Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Method: Related measures longitudinal design: We compared parent ratings of children over a 6 year period. The sample consisted of 109 children (aged 8 to 18 years, 62 males). Measures were of routinized and compulsive-like behaviours, OCD behaviours, worries and fears. Results: Routinized behaviours decreased significantly over the 6 year period, but not for children reported to have difficulties. OCD behaviours increased significantly with 31% of the sample having above threshold scores; however, only one child in the sample had an OCD diagnosis. There were significant correlations between CRI, OCD and fear and worry scores. Conclusion: We confirmed the view that anxiety reduction is one of the functions of routinized behaviours. A small number of children had high scores on routinized behaviours and the OCD measure, but there was only 1 diagnosis of OCD in the sample. This suggests that they may be part of the typical distribution of such behaviours.

“…Temper It is interesting that the doctors' concepts of development of temper did not essentially differ from those of the mothers: almost half of the doctors and nurses believed babies showed their temper before the age of three months, [7][8][9] Even though some of the mothers in our study appeared rather proud of their children's "precociousness" in revealing a strong temper early, still the inference was usually that the children were wilful or temperamental or were in some manner revealing anger, aggression, or other undesirable traits. Thus, our findings may relate to the prevalence of some manner of physical punishment in early infancy as reported in our sample.…”
