![]() But the babies immediately became alert and learned the association when they paired the click and the sugar water. No matter how many times Blass and his colleagues paired the triangle sound or the psst sound with the sugar water, the babies did not learn the association. To their great surprise, only the click and the shhh had any effect. The psychologists selected, almost at random, four sounds: a click made by a castinet, a psst sound, a dong made by a triangle, and a shhh sound. Instead of a stroke on the head, the babies were trained to anticipate sugar water after hearing a sound. That research laid the groundwork for Blass' work with sounds. The babies felt there was "a violation of the relationship we had established." When the infants' heads were stroked but no sugar water was given, they cried, Blass said, a clear sign that they were anticipating the water. The babies quickly learned to anticipate the sugar water from a stroke on the head, turning their heads to the side and sticking out their tongues. Playing on babies' love of sugar water, Blass trained the infants to associate a light stroke on the head with a drop of water. "Everybody knows that if you want a kid to be quiet, you say 'shhh.' "īut why? Do babies learn such responses, or are they born sensitive to particular sounds? Can they be trained to respond to other sounds? Some answers have come about through research into the infant learning process.īlass, who reported these results at a recent workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, had set out to investigate whether newborn infants could be taught to anticipate, a sign of sophisticated reasoning. "In a sense, we're rediscovering the wheel," said psychologist Elliott Blass of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. They appear to be hard-wired into an infant's brain before birth.

I can leave other music apps on that actually require WiFi and data use, and they never drain even half of that! Had the app running 6hrs to keep little one soothed and it drained to 44% battery remaining. 2) Even when the phone is charged 100% and not plugged in anymore, if the app is the only thing running, while the screen is off and the phone is in Do Not Disturb overnight, it drains the battery. It never used to do that, especially with the screen off, in Do Not Disturb mode overnight, automatic updates turned off, and no other apps running in background. Then I noticed it when my little one and I were napping, and I went to change the volume around 45min and it was hot again.
