The authors attempted to isolate tactile stimulation as a major independent variable treatment and to investigate the effects of 2 levels of neonatal tactile stimulation on the ontogenesis of emotional reactivity in BALB/c mice. The findings of this study strongly indicate differential reactivity as a function of intensity of tactile stimulation, with moderate levels of intensity producing the lowest levels of emotionality and the highest levels producing the highest emotionality.
