He was a resident and an instructor for three years in the Department of Radiology at the University of North Carolina and had a Special Fellowship in Vascular Radiology at Duke University Medical School, where he also served as an instructor. Dr. Fisher served three years in the United States Air Force as a Flight Surgeon. DR. BARKER IS CHIEF OF OB-GYN Julian Barker, M.D., a member of the hospital's Obstetric-Gynecology staff since 1962, was appointed Chief of Obstetric-Gynecology Service at Moses Cone Hospital, effective July 1. The Goldsboro, North Carolina native succeeds Harry W. Johnson, M.D., who held this post for the past six years. Dr. Barker holds medical degrees from the State University of Leiden, Holland and the University of Buffalo School of Medicine in New York. He served an internship and a three-year residency at the University of Texas Hospitals in Galveston. He maintains offices for private practice at 408 Parkway in Greensboro. Dr. Tony DeCasper puts "quick learning" baby through tasks in research project. "A 48-hour old baby can tell time," said Dr. Tony DeCasper, a research psychologist from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, who has studied newborn infant behavior at The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital since 1976. Through his research, he has also learned that newborn infants are fast learners, they prefer "Mom's" voice and they find the sound of a heartbeat comforting. Dr. DeCasper conducts experiments by placing earphones on the infant's ears and a pacifier in his or her mouth. "If a baby learns to wait at least four seconds between sucks on the pacifier, a lady singer will come on," he said. "Babies find a female voice to be a pleasant sound, so we manipulate the length of time [from three to eight seconds] the baby will have to wait." After a few tries the baby learns what he has to do to hear the singing. These experiments have given Dr. DeCasper proof that babies have the biological capacity to perceive temporal duration. Not only is a lady singer's voice a potent reward for the infant, but Dr. DeCasper's experiments have also shown that a newborn infant has a distinctive preference for his or her own mother's voice. "They definitely recognize the mother's voice and will work harder to hear her voice than any other female voice," he said. He also says babies can distinguish subtle differences in sounds such as "pa" and "ba" which is another sign an infant's hearing is well developed at birth. Why would nature equip a newborn this way? Dr. DeCasper says one important reason may be to help the baby know who his mother is. "The baby seems to sense who will be taking care of him so he knows who to play up to," he said. "Maybe that's nature's way of handling the baby's needs." Curious to see if babies would prefer their father's voice over the voree of another male, similar experiments were conducted by Dr. DeCasper and his associates, beginning with the father's presence at the baby's birth. The fathers were instructed to interact with their infants as much as possible, and each father had four to six hours contact with his baby before the baby was put through the tasks. The findings indicate that babies show no preference for "Dad's" voice over that of other males. Another set of tests proved the babies could distinguish between male voices, but that a newborn infant simply prefers female voices — particularly his own mother's voice. "This is because the baby has been hearing Mom's voice for several months," Dr. DeCasper explained. He emphasized that these implications are not significant to a long term attachment between father and child. He believes the father's active involvement at birth helps to promote an early bond between the two. There is strong evidence that the relationship between mother and child developed and blossomed during the intrauterine period — giving Mom a head start on establishing a relationship with baby. Dr. DeCasper believes the baby can hear inside the (Continued on page 3) HOSPITAL RECEIVES 3-YEAR JCAH ACCREDITATION The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital has received word that it has been fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. The accreditation is for three years instead of the previous two year accreditation. Moses Cone Hospital has been continuously accredited since 1955. The Joint Commission of Accreditation of Hospitals is a voluntary effort to assure the highest quality health care available. While it is strictly voluntary, accreditation by the Joint Commission exempts Moses Cone Hospital from inspection by the State of North Carolina. The accreditation follows a two day on-site inspection by a team which included a physician, a nurse and a hospital administrator. In addition to surveying the physical plant of the institution, the team reviewed the policies, procedures and records of the hospital as well as the ongoing quality control program.
