简要总结
The overall purpose of this study is to better understand food reinforcement in infants. The results of this study should help to further our understanding of how individuals relate to food and how an enriched environment can change this behavior.
详细描述
The study will be a between subject design with a Music Together intervention group and a play date active control group. All subjects will complete the orientation and pre-screening intervention assessment sessions.
All infant-mother dyads in the Music together group will attend a 6 weekly, 45-minute classes as a group. Infant-mother dyads will also receive an illustrated songbook with family activities to practice and enjoy at home along with the CD. The program provides CD with a collection of songs, rhythm chants, "play-alongs", tonal and rhythm patterns, which will be used in classes.
All infant-mother dyads in the play date control group will attend 6 weekly, 45-minute organized play dates as a group. These play dates will be planned and led by DBM research staff members. Variety of age-appropriate toys (i.e. puzzles, shape sorters, books) will be provided for the play date. Each family in the play date group will receive a toy from us to practice and play at home with their baby.
Families in both groups are asked to report their home practice with the song or toy with their babies by filling out the Daily Home Practice Survey.
Both groups will attend a post-intervention training assessment session at the conclusion of the 6 week intervention period.
