Development of Emotion-Cognition Relations

This collection is devoted to studies of the development of emotion-cognition relations, children's knowledge of the cause of emotions, and the relations of that knowledge to expectations or anticipations of emotional experiences.;Contributions discuss such critical questions as: the distinctiveness or separability of emotion and cognition; neural pathways involved in the processing of emotional or cognitive information; the relative rates of development of such pathways; how interactions between emotional and cognitive experiences relate to memory; the co-ordination and integration of the emotions system and the cognitive system; and the development of knowledge about emotions, and adaptive applications of this knowledge.;The findings suggest interesting possibilities for research on developmental processes that integrate emotion, cognition and action, and this volume will prove useful to developmental and cognitive psychologists interested in emotion.
