Infants were tested in a clinical environment that did not control ambient temperature and assigned, post-hoc, into < 80°F and > 80°F groups. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia was suppressed in response to the elevated temperature. The findings suggest that temperature should be controlled during psychophysiological research with infants.
