“…Our findings for total looking time and peak fixation are consistent with reports for typically developing infants (e.g. Colombo et al, 1987;Rose et al, 1986). Evidence that mean and baseline looking rates were also reliable in high-risk infants may be particularly important, as these data can be obtained even if infants have difficulty sustaining attention long enough to complete the task.…”

We examined both the reliability of infant-controlled habituation and patterns of responding in a group of high-risk infants (mean age 16 mos). Good test-retest reliability was found for mean, total, and baseline looking time for one of the stimuli. Classification of infants' pattern of performance yielded two groups: linear (57%) and non-linear (29%) responders; 14% of cases could not be classified because of cross-session inconsistencies in performance. Linear responders had shorter total looking times, fewer trials to criterion, and showed more habituation than non-linear responders, thus validating the linear/non-linear distinction. Our findings indicate that the infant-controlled habituation task can be used reliably with infants who are at high risk for developmental disorders. Indeed, we provide evidence that this task is not only reliable, but may also provide meaningful distinctions between infants within the high-risk population. Discussion focuses on the role of attention in distinguishing between short (linear) and long (non-linear) lookers.

“…The alpha for this composite was r=.76. Shorter look durations in infancy are predictive of higher IQs in later childhood (Rose et al, 1986;Sigman et al, 1991Sigman et al, , 1997.…”

“…Look durations decrease and shift rates increase dramatically with age (Colombo, Mitchell, O'Brien, & Horowitz, 1987;Frick, Colombo, & Saxon, 1999;Rose, Feldman, & Jankowski, 2001a), while, within an age, more mature patterns of attention (short looks and more shifts) are associated with better information processing and visual recognition memory (Colombo, 1993;Colombo, Mitchell, Coldren, & Freeseman, 1991;Freeseman, Colombo, & Coldren, 1993;Jankowski, Rose, & Feldman, 2001;. Longer looks are characteristic of risk infants (Carlson & Werkman, 1996;Jacobson, Jacobson, Sokol, Martier, & Ager, 1993;Reisbick, Neuringer, Gohl, Wald, & Anderson, 1997;Rose et al, 2001a;Rose, Feldman, McCarton, & Wolfson, 1988) and are associated with lower IQ (Colombo, Richman, Shaddy, & Maikranz, 2001;Rose, Slater, & Perry, 1986;Sigman, Cohen, Beckwith, Asarnow, & Parmelee, 1991;Sigman, Cohen, & Beckwith, 1997).…”

“…Measures of habituation are thought to reflect the infant's capacity for processing and learning information, and visual fixation times were found to be shorter in LCPUFA supplemented growth retarded term infants compared with similarly growth retarded infants who were not supplemented. Duration of visual fixation times have previously been shown to be inversely correlated with childhood IQ (Bornstein & Sigman, 1986;Rose et al 1986). More recently Willatts et al (1998) reported that term infants randomized to a formula supplemented with AA and DHA achieved higher scores for problem solving tasks at the age of 10 months than infants who were randomized to an unsupplemented formula.…”

The ultimate goal in the design of infant formula is to achieve the outcome seen in breast fed infants. This review of lipids in infant formulas for term infants begins by refemng to the lipid composition of human milk, and relates that to differences in lipid digestion and metabolism which exist between breast fed and formula fed infants and which may significantly influence fatty acid bioavailability.Recommendations are made for the lipid content and fatty acid composition of term infant formulas (especially for lauric, linoleic, a-linolenic, long chain 20 and 22C n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and the trans fatty acids).Further research is required to define more clearly the long term nutritional, growth and developmental effects of structured lipids in formulas for term infants. More information is required on the differential handling of LCPUFA and other fatty acids at the organ and cellular level. There is a need for large (multi-centre) randomized studies to determine the short and long term functional effects of LCPUFA supplementation. Further research and development is required to determine a commercial source of LCPUFA which is safe, effective and economic. Further information is required on the short and long term effects of cholesterol intake during infancy, and in particular its relationship to LCPUFA metabolism. Long term studies should be initiated to determine the relationship of infant diet (especially saturated fatty acid and cholesterol intake) to the development of cardiovascular disease.
