On the Ontogenesis of Emotions and Emotion-Cognition Relationships in Infancy

  • Chapter
The Development of Affect

Part of the book series: Genesis of Behavior ((GOBE,volume 1))

Abstract

In considering emotion development in infancy, it is important to remember that the emotions and the emotion system cannot be studied in isolation. The infant is a whole human being and the personality of the infant, like the personality of the adult, consists of an organization of a complexly interrelated set of subsystems. In a general sense, infant development can be considered as the process whereby these systems become effectively organized so that they interact and interrelate harmoniously in producing integrated behavior (Izard, 1971; Sroufe, 1977).
