| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| emotions are influenced by biological foundations, cognitive processes, and a person’s experiences | Biological, Cognitive, and Environmental Influences |
| emotions that are present in humans and other animals and emerge early in life | Primary emotions |
| emotions that require self-awareness, especially consciousness and a sense of “me”; Ex.: jealousy, empathy, and embarrassment. | Self-conscious emotions |
| is the most important mechanism newborns have for communicating with their world | Crying |
| a rhythmic pattern usually consisting of a cry, a briefer silence, a shorter inspiratory whistle that is higher pitched than the main cry, and then a brief rest before the next cry | Basic cry |
| a variation of the basic cry, with more excess air forced through the vocal cords | Anger cry |
| a sudden appearance of a long, initial loud cry without preliminary moaning, followed by breath holding | Pain cry |
| is a key social signal and a very important aspect of positive social interaction in developing a new social skill | Smiling |
| a smile that does not occur in response to external stimuli. It happens during the first month after birth, usually during sleep | Reflexive smile |
| a smile in response to an external stimulus, which early in development is typically a face | Social smile |
| one of a baby’s earliest emotions is fear, which typically first appears at about 6 months of age and peaks. however, abused and neglected infants can show fear as early as 3 months at about 18 months | Fear |
| an infant’s fear and wariness of strangers; it tends to appear during the second half of the first year of life | Stranger Anxiety |
| an infant’s distressed crying when the caregiver leaves | Separation Protest |
| It involves individual differences in behavioral styles, emotions, and characteristic ways of responding | Temperament Styles |
| a child who is generally in a positive mood, quickly establishes regular routines in infancy, and adapts easily to new experiences | Easy child |
| child who tends to react negatively and cry frequently, engages in irregular daily routines, and is slow to accept change | Difficult child |
| a child who has a low activity level, is somewhat negative, and displays a low intensity of mood | Slow-to-warm-up child |
| temperament focuses on the differences between a shy, subdued, timid child and a sociable, extraverted, bold child | Kagan’s Behavioral Inhibition |
| temperament has styles - effortful control (selfregulation) | Rothbart and Bates’ Classification |
| includes approach, pleasure, activity, smiling, and laughter | Extraversion/surgency |
| includes fear, frustration, sadness, and discomfort | Negative affectivity |
| includes attentional focusing and shifting, inhibitory control, perceptual sensitivity, and low-intensity pleasure | Effortful control (self-regulation) |
| refers to the match between a child’s temperament and the environmental demands with which the child must cope | Goodness of fit |
| trust vs mistrust (Erikson); Following a life of regularity, warmth, and protection in the mother’s womb, the infant faces a world that is less secure | Trust |
| autonomy vs Shame/doubt. Autonomy builds as the infant’s mental and motor abilities develop. At this point in development, not only can infants walk, but they can also climb, open and close, drop, push and pull, and hold and let go | Independence |
| reading” emotional cues in others to help determine how to act in a particular situation. It helps infants to interpret ambiguous situations more accurately, as when they encounter a stranger and need to know whether to fear the person | Social referencing |
| a close emotional bond between two people | Attachment |
| from birth to 2 months. Infants instinctively direct their attachment to human figures. Strangers, siblings, and parents are equally likely to elicit smiling or crying from the infant | Phase 1 |
| from 2 to 7 months. Attachment becomes focused on one figure, usually the primary caregiver, as the baby gradually learns to distinguish familiar from unfamiliar people. | Phase 2 |
| from 7 to 24 months. Specific attachments develop. With increased locomotor skills, babies actively seek contact with regular caregivers, such as the mother or father. | Phase 3 |
| from 24 months on. Children become aware of others’ feelings, goals, and plans and begin to take these into account in forming their own actions. | Phase 4 |
| a simple mental model of the caregiver, their relationship, and the self as deserving of nurturant care | Internal Working Model |
| an observational measure of infant attachment that requires the infant to move through a series of introductions, separations, and reunions with the caregiver and an adult stranger in a prescribed order | Strange Situation |
| Babies who use the caregiver as a secure base from which to explore the environment | Securely attached babies |
| Babies who show insecurity by avoiding the caregiver | Insecure Avoidant Babies |
| Babies who often cling to the caregiver, then resist the caregiver by fighting against the closeness, perhaps by kicking or pushing away | Insecure resistant babies |
| Babies who show insecurity by being disorganized and disoriented. | Insecure disorganized babies |
| involves connections across domains over time that influence developmental pathways and outcomes | Developmental cascade model |
| socialization that is bidirectional; children socialize parents, just as parents socialize children | Reciprocal socialization |
| practice in which parents time interactions so that infants experience turn taking with the parents; these interactions allow infants to be more skillful than they would be if they had to rely only on their own abilities | Scaffolding |
