Early Emotional Development pg. 27 (right) Researchers debate over whether emotions are learned or have a genetic base.

Primary and Secondary Emotions pg. 28 (left) Primary Emotions – occur during the first year of life Startle Disgust Distress Reflex Smile (gas) Social Smile Laughter Stranger fear Secondary Emotions- occur during the second year of life These emotions rely on the development of self-awareness Pride Shame Guilt Jealousy

Development of Attachment pg. 29 (right) Psychoanalytic view basis for mothering-infant attachment is oral gratification. Learning theory infants become attached to their mothers because they provide food, thus satisfying their basic needs. Ethological theory both parent and child are biologically prepared to respond to each others needs and behaviors, thus creating a relational attachment. Cognitive developmental theory infants cannot form attachments until they differentiate between a parent and stranger. Object permanence- aware that people continue to exist even when he/she cannot see them. Imprinting- developing an attachment to the first person they see.

Childcare- Rest assured, you are not damaging your child if you send them to day care. Pg. 31 (right) Why? There is NO evidence that having multiple caregivers or spending time in a child-care enter prevents the formation of a secure child-parent attachment relationship. Because studies show it is the quality and stability of child care center staff that are the most important ingredients in a child's growth both cognitively and socially. Studies actually show that stress is what interferes with the development of a strong attachment relationship. Pg. 30 (left)-Top 25 Questions to Ask handout.

Nativist View pg. 33 (right) Noam Chomsky LAD (Language Acquisition Device) – children are biologically predisposed to learn a language. Critical period – infancy to puberty. After puberty extremely difficult to learn a language. Ex. 13 year old Genie

Interactionist View pg. 33 (right) Most modern theorists subscribe to this view. Humans are biologically prepared for learning a language but require extensive experience with language and communication. Children play an active role in acquiring language by basically testing out how their words work in the everyday of their life.
