“…Some primiparas have insufficient knowledge of breastfeeding, so they reject breastfeeding and fail to continue breastfeeding. Therefore, changing the feeding intention of primiparas and urging them to continue breastfeeding are important measures to encourage breastfeeding (13,14). The TPB was first proposed by US psychologist Ajzen in 1985.…”

Background: Breastfeeding is the most effective way to provide food for the healthy growth and development of babies. It has been reported in the literature that interventions on parturients, with the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as the guiding framework, can achieve good results. The purpose of the present study was to explore the effect of the TPB on primipara breastfeeding.Methods: A total of 70 primiparas, who were given regular intervention mode at Haian People's Hospital from May 2017 to May 2018, were selected as the control group, and a total of 70 primiparas, who were given the TPB model from June 2018 to June 2019, were selected as the observation group. Exclusive breastfeeding rates, continuous breastfeeding rates, and breastfeeding confidence and breastfeeding impact factors were compared between the two groups.Results: After the intervention, the pure breastfeeding rates of the observation group at discharge, 1 month after delivery, and 4 months after delivery were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05).After intervention, the continuous breastfeeding rates of the observation group was higher than that of the control group at 4 months after delivery (P<0.05). After intervention, the skill dimension, inner activity dimension, and total score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05).After intervention, scores of attitude, perceptual behavior control, and knowledge in the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of the TPB to primipara breastfeeding can significantly increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding and continuous breastfeeding, and effectively improve the impact factors of breastfeeding.

“…However, the heterogeneity in early life environments that create stress, in concert with the reliance on parental perception of stress, makes it difficult to develop a mechanistic understanding of chronic stress. In addition to parental report, there is increased interest in the assessment and characterization of physiological stress as linked to early neural development, given that physiological stress has been related to brain function and development (McEwen, 2004; St. John, Kao, Liederman, Grieve, & Tarullo, 2017).…”

“…Johnet al, 2017). To our knowledge, only one study has examined how maternal stress physiology may alter task-related infant brain functioning (St. John et al, 2017). This study found that maternal point-in-time salivary cortisol (collected at infant age 6 months) predicted later infant brain function (6-9 Hz power).…”

Chronic environmental stress has deleterious effects on the developing child. While the type and degree of stress that children experience can vary widely, the downstream influence of varying stressors may impact child development similarly. Of particular interest is building an understanding of how chronic stress impacts brain functioning early in life, as both environmental stress and alterations in patterns of infant brain development have been related to a constellation of subsequent negative developmental outcomes. Among typically developing children, studies using electroencephalography (EEG) have shown that the relative contribution of low-frequency resting EEG power decreases with age, whereas the relative contribution of high-frequency resting EEG power increases with age (Marshall, Bar-Haim, & Fox, 2002). A variety of highly stressful environments have been linked to alterations

“…Some populations, such as children and adults with cognitive disorders, are limited in attending laboratory EEG sessions, which can be lengthy and uncomfortable. Therefore, efforts that are aimed at transferring laboratory methodologies to different everyday contexts create the possibility for their inclusion in studies with greater ecological value [ 2 – 6 ].…”

Electrophysiological approaches in the study of cognitive development outside the lab

The use of human neuroimaging technology provides knowledge about several emotional and cognitive processes at the neural level of organization. In particular, electroencephalographic (EEG) techniques allow researchers to explore high-temporal resolution of the neural activity that underlie the dynamics of cognitive processes. Although EEG research has been mostly applied in laboratory settings, recently a low-cost, portable EEG apparatus was released, which allows exploration of different emotional and cognitive processes during every-day activities. We compared a wide range of EEG measures using both a low-cost portable and a high-quality laboratory system. EEG recordings were done with both systems while participants performed an active task (Go/NoGo) and during their resting-state. Results showed similar waveforms in terms of morphology and amplitude of the ERPs, and comparable effects between conditions of the applied Go/NoGo paradigm. In addition, the contribution of each frequency to the entire EEG was not significantly different during resting-state, and fluctuations in amplitude of oscillations showed long-range temporal correlations. These results showed that low-cost, portable EEG technology can provide an alternative of enough quality for measuring brain activity outside a laboratory setting, which could contribute to the study of different populations in more ecological contexts.
