Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early emotional development, emotional regulation, and the links between emotion and social or cognitive functioning in atypically developing children have not received much attention. This lack is due in part to the priorities given to the educational and therapeutic needs of these children. Yet an understanding of the basic emotional processes in children with atypical development can only serve to promote more effective strategies for teaching and intervening in the lives of these children and their families and may contribute to our understanding of basic emotional processes as well. When referring to "emotions," the editors mean some complex set of processes or abilities, whether or not the topic is normal or atypical development. Specifically, they use the term "emotion" to refer to at least three things -- emotional expressions, emotional states, and emotional experiences. The focus of this volume, these three aspects of emotional life are affected by socialization practices, maturational change, and individual biological differences including, in this case, differences in children as a function of disability. Contributors examine the development of emotions in children with organic or psychological disorders as well as those in compromised social contexts making this volume of prime importance to developmental, clinical, and social psychologists, educators, and child mental health experts.

Download or read book Child and Adolescent Psychology written by Stephen von Tetzchner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 1258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child and Adolescent Psychology provides an accessible and thorough introduction to human development by integrating insights from typical and atypical development. This integration cements understanding since the same processes are involved. Knowledge about atypical development informs the understanding of typical development, and knowledge about typical development is a necessary basis for understanding atypical development and working with children with disorders. Based on international research, and informed by biological, social and cultural perspectives, the book provides explanations of developmental phenomena, with a focus on how children and adolescents at different age levels actually think, feel and act. Following a structure by topic, with chronological developments within each chapter, von Tetzchner presents and contrasts the major theoretical ideas in developmental psychology and discusses their implications for different aspects of development. He also integrates information about sensory, physical and cognitive disabilities and the main emotional and behavioral disorders of childhood and adolescence, and the developmental consequences of these disabilities and disorders. Child and Adolescent Psychology is accompanied by online resources for lecturers and students to enhance the book, including essay questions for each chapter, Powerpoint slides and multiple-choice questions. The book and companion website will prove invaluable to developmental psychology students.

Download or read book Not What I Expected written by Rita Eichenstein PhD and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for a Books for a Better Life Award A pediatric neuropsychologist presents strategies to help parents of special-needs children navigate the emotional challenges they face. As diagnosis rates continue to rise for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other developmental differences, parents face a maze of medical, psychological, and educational choices – and a great deal of emotional stress. Many books address children’s learning or behavior problems and advise parents what they can do to help their kids, but until Not What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children there were no books that explain what the parents are going through - and how they can cope with their own emotional upheaval – for their own sake, and for the wellbeing of the whole family. With compassion, clarity, and an emphasis on practical solutions, Dr. Rita Eichenstein's Not What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children walks readers through the five stages of acceptance (similar to the stages of grief, but modified for parents of special-needs kids). Using vivid anecdotes and suggestions, she helps readers understand their own emotional experience, nurture themselves in addition to their kids, identify and address relationship wounds including tension in a marriage and struggles with children (special-needs and neurotypical), and embrace their child with acceptance, compassion and joy.

Download or read book Early Predictors of Emotional Knowledge and Expression in Atypical Development written by Hilary Margret Gould and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies have documented the importance of emotional knowledge for later social competence in typical children (e.g., Denham, 1986; Dunn & Cutting, 1999; Schultz, Izard, Ackerman, & Youngstrom, 2001). However, less is known about the factors that lead to the development of these skills, or the growth trajectories of these skills in children with developmental disabilities. The aims of this longitudinal study were: (1) to examine the specificity and uniqueness of emotional understanding and expression in atypical populations, and (2) to identify if joint attention skills in early development are predictive of greater emotional understanding and increased positive reported expression of emotions at an older age. The initial sample consisted of 135 children: 37 with a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), 66 with Down syndrome (DS), and 32 with other developmental delays (DD). At entry children were rated on initiations and responses to joint attention at a mean age of 3.17 years. At follow-up, 122 of the original children were assessed again, at a mean age of 10.7 years, on emotional labeling, identification, expression, and empathy. The ASD group had a lower rate of responding to joint attention at entry. Diagnostic group differences were also found for the DD group, with more negative expressed emotions as rated by parents, but there were no difference in teacher report of negative expressed emotions in the classroom. The DS group performed significantly worse on a number of expressive measures: labeling of negative emotions, identification of both positive and negative emotions, and empathy to a positive vignette. However, when given the same tasks receptively, the DS group did not perform significantly different than the other two diagnostic groups. Early initiations of nonverbal joint attention gestures predicted greater parent reported positive emotional expression, holding diagnostic groups constant with a coefficient of determination equal to .224. These results suggest that improvements in joint attention at a young age may have long-term consequences for later expressive affect in children with developmental disabilities. These data are consistent with other research that has found concurrent associations between joint attention and positive affect (Kasari et al., 1990) and increases in positive affect due to joint attention training (Lawton & Kasari, 2012).

Download or read book The Rise of Consciousness and the Development of Emotional Life written by Michael Lewis and published by Guilford Publications. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synthesizing decades of influential research and theory, Michael Lewis demonstrates the centrality of consciousness for emotional development. At first, infants' competencies constitute innate reactions to particular physical events in the child's world. These "action patterns" are not learned, but are readily influenced by temperament and social interactions. With the rise of consciousness, these early competencies become reflected feelings, giving rise to the self-conscious emotions of empathy, envy, and embarrassment, and, later, shame, guilt, and pride. Focusing on typically developing children, Lewis also explores problems of atypical emotional development. Winner/m-/William James Book Award, Society for General Psychology (APA Division 1)
Download or read book Reflective Thinking in Educational Settings written by Alessandro Antonietti and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the role that culture plays in the acquisition of cognitive, linguistic, and social skills. Taking reflective thinking as a central analytical concept, the contributors investigate the role of personal reflection in a series of mental activities, including the creation of social relationships, the creation of a mental narrative to make sense of events, and metacognition. These three types of cognition are usually conceived of as separate research fields. Metarepresentation and Narrative in Educational Settings draws these discrete subfields into dialogue, exploring the connections and interplay among them. This approach yields insight into a range of topics, including language acquisition, cognitive processes, Theory of Mind, cross-cultural interaction, and social development. The volume also outlines the implications of these findings in terms of further research and possible social policy initiatives.

Download or read book Brain Connectivity in Autism written by Rajesh K. Kana and published by Frontiers E-books. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brain's ability to process information crucially relies on connectivity. Understanding how the brain processes complex information and how such abilities are disrupted in individuals with neuropsychological disorders will require an improved understanding of brain connectivity. Autism is an intriguingly complex neurodevelopmental disorder with multidimensional symptoms and cognitive characteristics. A biological origin for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) had been proposed even in the earliest published accounts (Kanner, 1943; Asperger, 1944). Despite decades of research, a focal neurobiological marker for autism has been elusive. Nevertheless, disruptions in interregional and functional and anatomical connectivity have been a hallmark of neural functioning in ASD. Theoretical accounts of connectivity perceive ASD as a cognitive and neurobiological disorder associated with altered functioning of integrative circuitry. Neuroimaging studies have reported disruptions in functional connectivity (synchronization of activated brain areas) during cognitive tasks and during task-free resting states. While these insights are valuable, they do not address the time-lagged causality and directionality of such correlations. Despite the general promise of the connectivity account of ASD, inconsistencies and methodological differences among studies call for more thorough investigations. A comprehensive neurological account of ASD should incorporate functional, effective, and anatomical connectivity measures and test the diagnostic utility of such measures. In addition, questions pertaining to how cognitive and behavioral intervention can target connection abnormalities in ASD should be addressed. This research topic of the Frontiers in Human Neuroscience addresses “Brain Connectivity in Autism” primarily from cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging perspectives.
