触摸可以改善婴儿的健康，但人们对触摸的行为影响知之甚少。我们探讨了新生儿社交接触对恒河猴的影响。接受额外照顾的新生儿对新奇事物的反应更积极。较高的触摸频率与更好的认知和社交发展相关。新生儿的触摸可能广泛支持婴儿的发育。触摸是最早发育的感官之一，也是婴儿与护理人员最早的沟通方式之一。虽然研究探讨了婴儿触摸对身体健康和成长的好处，但社交触摸对婴儿行为的影响相对尚未被探索。在这里，我们研究了新生儿处理对 2 至 12 周龄幼猴（Macaca mulatta；n=48）各个领域的影响，包括记忆、新奇寻求和社会兴趣。新生儿被随机分配接受额外的拥抱，有或没有伴随的面对面互动。与标准饲养的婴儿相比，额外照顾的婴儿表现出较少的与压力相关的行为，在新环境中的运动能力更强，更快地接近新物体，更好的工作记忆，以及对新社交伙伴的恐惧更少。总之，在新生儿期接受更多触觉刺激的婴儿随后在生命的前三个月表现出更先进的运动、社交和认知技能，特别是在涉及探索新奇事物的环境中。这些数据表明，社交接触可能支持行为发展，为设计未来的早期干预措施提供了有希望的可能性，特别是对于社交障碍风险较高的婴儿。
Touch improves infant health, but little is known about behavioral effects of touch. We explored the influence of neonatal social touch on rhesus macaque monkeys. Newborns who received extra handling responded more positively to novelty. Higher rates of touch were associated with better cognitive and social development. Neonatal touch may broadly support infants’ development. Touch is one of the first senses to develop and one of the earliest modalities for infant-caregiver communication. While studies have explored the benefits of infant touch in terms of physical health and growth, the effects of social touch on infant behavior are relatively unexplored. Here, we investigated the influence of neonatal handling on a variety of domains, including memory, novelty seeking, and social interest, in infant monkeys (Macaca mulatta; n = 48) from 2 to 12 weeks of age. Neonates were randomly assigned to receive extra holding, with or without accompanying face-to-face interactions. Extra-handled infants, compared to standard-reared infants, exhibited less stress-related behavior and more locomotion around a novel environment, faster approach of novel objects, better working memory, and less fear towards a novel social partner. In sum, infants who received more tactile stimulation in the neonatal period subsequently demonstrated more advanced motor, social, and cognitive skills—particularly in contexts involving exploration of novelty—in the first three months of life. These data suggest that social touch may support behavioral development, offering promising possibilities for designing future early interventions, particularly for infants who are at heightened risk for social disorders.
