Abstract
In a clinical study of intractional variables of maternal behavior as factors in the development of an atypical form of motor behavior (head-rolling) in early infancy, sensory conditions within the context of infant-mother relationships were studied by direct observations of infant-mother interactions, detailed histories of the infant''s development, and evaluations of the mother''s personality. From these data, the conditions of infant stimulation were reconstructed and related to the infant''s behavioral capacities and the pathogenesis of spasmus nutans.Keywords
