Students successfully completing this course will be able to:
- Explain the philosophical origins of the idea that emotions need to be regulated or controlled in order for an individual to thrive.
- Explain an interpersonal model of emotional development and regulation in infants and young children.
- Explain the basic principles of the functional/emotional model of development and the role of emotions in the development of symbols and intelligence.
- Understand the ways in which increasingly complex and textured emotional interactions with caregivers promote symbolic development and progress in functional emotional development.
- Explain the benefit of the functional/emotional model for both assessments and intervention.
- Describe how each functional emotional developmental capacity contribute to emotional, intellectual and societal development (i.e., what does it enable the child to do in each of these areas).
- Explain what it means to say that disorders like autism, ADHD, or conduct disorder are downstream phenomena, and the implications of this developmental pathways model for assessment and intervention.
- Explain the concept of Secondary Altriciality and its bearing on our views about the role of certain types of caregiving experiences on a child’s development, especially in earliest infancy.
- Explain the role that emotions and emotional signaling plays in language development, and the implications of this understanding for our views about genetic determinism in general.
- Explain how emotions serve as the orchestra leader for the mind’s many functions.
- Describe the social, political and global implications of examining human development through the life-span functional emotional developmental perspective.
