....for those who want to read more, there's a brief article which
matches Tony's description at:

http://www.boston.com/yourlife/health/other/articles/2005/06/03/study_parents_can_help_babies_get_rhythm/

It explains that "disambiguate" means to play the same pitches and
durations while altering only the stress on particular notes (waltz vs.
march). Since toe-tapping can be similar to simple metronome action
(no emphasis on particular beats, just basic counting), I understand
Tony's comment. It was more an experiment about dynamics than
counting.

Nevertheless, it's interesting that body motion played a role in the
responses of an untrained baby --- as opposed to hearing alone.
