Stimuli in the Pre-School Child M. Tappan et al. I Post-Traumatic Response Variation to Audio-Tactile H One of the most significant psychosocial phenomena disclosed in an extensive survey recently completed in the Washington Heights Health Center is that of the response of the pre-school child following episodic trauma due to equilibrium loss. Using statistically acceptable methods, a sample of fifty-six children of various ages from two to six were randomly tripped up. Audio-lacrimal responses were measured and attempts were made to equate these responses to composure-recovery rate variables. Although site variability remains relatively unpredict- able, our survey findings support the theory, advanced by Tuttle' in her original work, that sudden equilibrium loss resulted in a 73fX, incidence of cutaneous con- tusion, 912, of which were further complicated by spontaneous crying. Fifty-eight responses were noted! The immediate re- sult of tripping was a falling phenomenon rapidly fol- lowed by transient egocentric depression accompanied by audible outbursts and lacrimal gland hyperactivity. Alternate subjects were placed in category A and be- came part of the control group. This group received no immediate care. The remaining subjects were subdi- vided into those with contusions and audio-lacrimal characteristics C B J and those with audio-lacrimal man- ifestations only f C J. Subjects in both of these last two groups received identical amounts of TLC, previ- ously reported as being effective, and results were ob- served by two teams of pediatricians and friendly social workers. Twelve subjects in group or 44fX, demonstrated rapid composure-recovery rates while twelve of group B and thirteen of group C exhibited complete re- covery in the same amount of time. Thus a positive correlation was noted in 25 of 27 cases. This was felt to be a significant difference. However, no significant difference was demonstrable between groups B and C, using the z-test, or the t-test. Not even by using Xt. Little documented material is available on the appli- cation of TLC to communicable and chronic disease, except by individial investigators who, because they are fathers and mothers, are believed to be biased in their observations. Nonetheless, continued research into the possibilities of TLC in older age groups appears indi- cated. If the findings of our study can be replicated, such findings may prove to be of inestimable catalytic value in the treatment of various conditions where no obvious etiological agent is readily apparent. 1.Tuttle, l., An Evaluation of Epicranial Contusions and Re- sponses to Audio-Tactile Variables of Mu Duration When M 1 gulf 1' xf-T- 2.
