In
this study the calming effect of tactile stimulation (holding) on
newborn infants in a stress situation was examined. The importance
of tactile stimulation could not be proved exactly. However the results
of this study might be explained by "attention hypothesis" explained
in a previous study (Kawakami et al., 1996).
