Term Description

Position: Infant is held upright or in sitting, tipped 30 degrees back, with upper trunk and base of head lightly supported in midline by examiner's hands. The infant's elbows should be positioned close to the trunk but the hands are not to be held. If the infant resists the reclined position and can control his head independently, test the infant in upright sitting with support at the shoulders. If the infant must be tested in upright sitting, the lowest possible score that can be given is 3.
Procedure: Examiner places her face at infant's eye level, approximately 10-15 inches away. Examiner moves face from side to side attempting to elicit following.
