Development of Socio-Emotional Processing in Infancy and Early Childhood

Development of Socio-Emotional Processing in Infancy and Early Childhood

Welcome to the course!


In this course, we will learn about the development of socio-emotional processing, as well as methods and issues surrounding the research in this field, focusing primarily on the first year of life and toddlerhood. While ‘socio-emotional processing’ encompasses a range of skills, we will be focusing on face and vocalisation processing given their fundamental and essential nature—after all, how could we ever understand the inner lives of others without first understanding the channels of communication through which emotions are conveyed? We will learn about why these skills are so important, and how differences in these skills affect more complex processes. The research we examine will be both behavioural and physiological in nature, and these different methodologies will be a focus in and of themselves. Our primary focus will be how these skills emerge and what exactly drives them, as well as questions remaining in the field. Below is given a summary of each class, along with reading lists. Do not feel compelled to read all items on these in full—more important items are starred (*).

Lecturer: Emma Jayne Jackson, B.A., M.Res.

Class Format
