NPR's Alix Spiegel has the story on their study and what they learned.
The experiment began in a small spare room. There was a chair for the mother to sit in, her five-month-old baby on her lap and then a television which played a soothing video. Soothing the baby, says researcher Liz Conradt, was the point of all of this. Because they needed to take a measure of the baby's breathing and heart beat when the baby was calm. And so on the screen, circles of gently colored shapes flickered and music softly played.One of Mozart's pieces. I can hum it if you want.
In this video from the study, you can see a mother and child steadily rocking back and forth. The mother, like every mother in the study, lives in poverty and likely is struggling with other things as well: physical abuse, mental illness. This means that the child on her lap, the five-month-old with a curl of hair, probably won't have an easy time. So will this particular kid struggle with behavior problems and dysfunction? Or will she thrive despite the hard road she's on?
