The still-face paradigm (SFP) is a 3-phase method for evaluating the behavior of babies in which, after a period of free play between mother-infant, the mother suddenly adopts a neutral expression and stops responding, but continues playing after a while. This method is used to assess the child's emotional regulation and social behavior. A systematic review of journal articles was conducted using the Psycinfo, Scopus, and EBSCO databases, which yielded studies on the main factors that modulate responses to the SFP. Of all the articles that contained the keywords used, 131 met the inclusion criteria. Results showed that the most studied modulating factors were maternal sensitivity, the presence of psychic disorders in the mother, and the temperament of the infant. A similar response pattern was found in infants in all studies, indicating that the paradigm is robust. It is pointed out that more studies need to be conducted on the influence of socioeconomic status, in older children, in countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as longitudinal studies that evaluate the changes in response during child development. The results found are sufficiently compatible to consider the SFP as a model of social frustration in infants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to identify the interests and orientations of studies on visual representations and the production of childhood images through cultural objects, with special emphasis on photography, which have become sources of information in the fields of history, cultural studies and education. Methodology: a qualitative documentary review, that focusses on the studies of society and culture of Latin America and Spain during the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, with some allusions to works located in the pre-Hispanic world. Results: childhood was found to be a matter of interdisciplinary interest, for example, for health sciences, especially neurology, pediatrics, epidemiology. There were also found works on childhood from the human sciences, social sciences, education and the arts; In the last four areas of knowledge, in addition to a marked interest of studies in the perception of images of boys and girls, there is a preoccupation with children's representations in education through images. Conclusions: from a balance of the results of the studies addressed, opportunities for research on the social construction of children in education with visual sources are identified.

The aim of the research presented in this article was to contribute to the configuration and development of the field of environmental education with minors in Latin America. For this reason, a bibliometric review was completed of 179 articles written in Spanish in the past twenty years. The review was based on the use of the SciELO, JSTOR, Redalyc, and Dialnet databases, the collection of Universidad de Chile, and a specialized journal. The findings showed that a growing but discontinuous progression exists in the publications, that the country with the highest number of studies is Spain, that the journal with the most articles is Luna Azul, and that the research is primarily of an empirical and qualitative nature. Thematic trends are described, such as the utilization of innovative methodologies, the didactic use of animals, and community environmental education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study the origin of modern scientific childcare as a practice of subjectivation. From this point of view, we analyse the parenting or childrearing technologies which are proposed in a sample of 23 Spanish and Latin American early childcare handbooks published between 1898 and 1939. These technologies of subjectivation should be understood as an important element of a process for the construction of subject as a responsible, adapted and self-governing citizen. These technologies should also be understood in the context defined by the biopolitics and the development of eugenics, which helped many authors –most of them doctors– to defend the need to ensure the physical and moral health of nation through a scientific rearing of little children, that is to say, the future citizens.
