Summary
Infant organization, the integration of physiologic and behavioral systems, is crucial for development. Maintaining this organization supports growth, communication, attachment, and better neurodevelopmental outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Neonatal development
- Infant neurobehavioral functioning
Background:
- Infant organization describes integrated functioning between physiologic and behavioral systems.
- Well-organized infants interact with their environment without disruptions in autonomic, motor, or state regulation.
- Disruptions can lead to alterations in vital signs, color, state, or digestion, potentially compromising growth.
