Introduction

This paper is concerned with some theoretical formulations and their operational derivations used in an investigative program of development during infancy. We are principally concerned with the observation, identification, and verification of variables influencing the processes of psychophysiological organization during infancy. Our interests are in problems of development during the earlier years and with the influence of the mother's personality and her mothering upon the infant's organizing psychic and physiological processes. Our research includes studies of the mother and observations of mother-infant relationships and of the infant per se. These will be elaborated upon in this and subsequent papers. It is our intention to follow this paper with a more detailed description of the specific studies currently being conducted and those to begin in the future and to report results of some completed research.
