{"product_id":"early-vocal-contact-and-preterm-manuela-filippa-9783319650753","title":"Early Vocal Contact and Preterm Infant Brain Development: Bridging the Gaps Between Research and Practice","description":"This book synthesizes and analyzes research on early vocal contact (EVC) for preterm infants, an early healthcare strategy aimed at reducing the long-term impact of neonatal hospitalization, minimizing negative impacts of premature birth, and promoting positive brain development. Chapters begin by examining research on the maternal voice and its unique and fundamental role in infant development during the fetal and neonatal period. The book discusses the rationale for EVC with preterm infants, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms, and the challenges for infants' development. Subsequent chapters highlight various EVCs that are used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), including direct talking and singing to preterm infants. In addition, the book also presents and evaluates early family-centered therapies as well as paternal and other caregiver voice interventions. \u003cbr\u003eTopics featured in this book include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly vocal contact and the language development of preterm infants.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe maternal voice and its influence on the stability and the sleep of preterm infants. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParental singing as a form of early interactive contact with the preterm infant. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecorded or live music interventions in the bioecology of the NICU. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of the music therapist to hospitalized infants. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Calming Cycle Theory and its implementation in preterm infants. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ci\u003eEarly Vocal Contact and Preterm Infant Brain Development\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reference for researchers, clinicians and related professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology, pediatrics, neuroscience, obstetrics and nursing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manuela Filippa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319650750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319650753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Manuela Filippa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125963157759,"sku":"9783319650753","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f655f454-76dc-49bc-b692-43945bcf6fcf.jpg?v=1687445538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-vocal-contact-and-preterm-manuela-filippa-9783319650753","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
