TL;DR
Observations from several neonatal studies revealed statistically significant behavioral differences among healthy full-term newborns, and it is proposed that among these differences certain ones will affect the nature of early experience, particularly the mother-infant relationship.
Abstract
Observations from several neonatal studies revealed statistically significant behavioral differences among healthy full-term newborns. It is proposed that among these differences certain ones will affect the nature of early experience, particularly the mother-infant relationship. Others may favor the development of certain cognitive styles, defenses and characterological differences.

Human infants under 5 days of age consistently looked more at black-and-white patterns than at plain colored surfaces, which indicates the innate ability to perceive form.

309 Citations1968Edward M. Ornitz
In the decade since the syndrome of early infantile autism was first described by Kanner, terms such as childhood schizophrenia, atypical children, 4 children with unusual sensitivities, 5 and symbiotic psychosis were used to conceptualize similar, yet apparently distinctive clinical entities.

The findings imply that, at least during the neonatal period, the vestibular stimulation which attends most caretaking activities may be more crucial than contact for certain aspects of early human development.

The discussion focuses on the possible function of the spontaneous behaviors for providing endogenous afferent stimulation under conditions of deafferentation, during a period when such stimulation may be critical for the developing central nervous system, and on the potential significance of these behaviors for later development.

Individual differences in neonates' intensity of response to stimulation were studied by repeatedly applying four stimuli to 30 babies during the first 4 or 5 days of life, showing significant day-to-day constancy.

In a study of individual differences in neonates, frequencies and durations of spontaneous visual alertness were recorded and visual pursuit was measured in 32 2- to 3-day-old healthy neonates and showed intra-individual stability in the visual behaviors but also high variance between infants in their capacity for visual Alertness.

Neurophysiological discoveries have caused us to change their fundamental conception of the organism as passive recipient to actor, and now the authors ask why some responses are selected for expression and others are not; the question of inhibition has become central.
