通过对母亲、足月儿 (n = 103)、医学上低风险 (n = 102) 和高风险 (n = 77) 5 岁早产儿的家访，研究了早期与持续母亲反应在预测认知和社会发展中的作用。根据早期（6、12 和 24 个月）和晚期（3 和 4 岁）观察到的温暖和偶然反应行为，有 4 个母亲群体：早期高、晚期高；早高，晚低；早期低，晚期中等；并且，早低，晚低。当母亲始终如一地做出反应时，儿童，尤其是早产儿，会表现出更快的认知发展。在一致反应（高-高）和早期反应不一致（高-低）群体中，社会性成长是相似的，但不一致群体中母亲的孩子在 4 岁时出现更大的减速，反驳了早期反应具有独特作用的概念。即使考虑到更广泛的养育行为，由情感情绪结构定义的一致反应的重要性也是显而易见的。
The role of early versus ongoing maternal responsiveness in predicting cognitive and social development was examined in home visits for mothers, full-term children (n = 103), and medically low-risk (n = 102) and high-risk (n = 77) preterm children at 5 ages. There were 4 maternal clusters based on warm and contingent responsiveness behaviors observed early (at 6, 12, and 24 months) and late (at 3 and 4 years): high early, high late; high early, low late; low early, moderate late; and, low early, low late. Children, especially preterm children, showed faster cognitive growth when mothers were consistently responsive. Social growth was similar in the consistently responsive (high-high) and the early-responsive inconsistent (high-low) clusters, but greater deceleration at 4 years among children with mothers in the inconsistent cluster refuted the notion of a unique role for early responsiveness. The importance of consistent responsiveness, defined by an affective-emotional construct, was evident even when a broader constellation of parenting behaviors was considered.
