Examined the human infant literature on supplemental stimulation to delineate a course of intervention based no the ontogeny of the nervous system and the impact that systematic stimulation may have on behavioral organization in the premature infant. Effects of vestibular, tactilel/kinesthetic, auditory, and oral stimulation are discussed with respect to their similarity to the intra- or extrauterine environment. Long-standing theoretical and methodological problems are discussed, and a "sequential multimodal treatment model" is introduced.

Key words: prematurity; stimulation; tactile; vestibular; kinesthetic.
