The Impact

The demand for natural infant care products, including diapers, has increased. However, few disposable diapers have been able to provide the performance caregivers desire while also incorporating ingredients consistent with the “natural” category. In an examiner-blinded clinical study, the performance of a new cotton-enhanced diaper with high-performance materials was compared with an existing natural diaper offering. A total of 131 infants wore 1 of the 2 diapers for a 4-week period. Diaper performance was assessed based on skin marking assessments, scored by a trained grader, and incidence of diaper dermatitis. Skin grading for diaper dermatitis was assessed at 4 sites in the diaper area. The new diaper offering was associated with less skin marking and significantly less diaper rash at the genitals and intertriginous regions versus the comparator. These data suggest that the new diaper provided significant improvement in both skin marking and prevalence of diaper rash.

Novel Words

Van den Bussche and Reynvoet (2007, Experiment 1 ) report unconscious priming of comparable magnitude from novel words belonging to small and large categories, evidence that they interpret as demonstrating independence from category size of priming that involves semantic analysis. Three experiments raise the possibility that the findings in Experiment 1c of Van den Bussche and Reynvoet reflect subword processing, not semantic analysis. In Experiments 1 and 2, priming was obtained from primes and targets that shared approximately the same degree of subword features as in Experiment 1c of Van den Bussche and Reynvoet, but no priming occurred when sharing of features was minimized. Experiment 3 demonstrated priming driven by subword features when those features were set in opposition to whole-word meaning. These results indicate that orthographic overlap must be considered a potentially important confound in findings that ostensibly support priming mediated by semantic analysis.
