The Relation of Affect to Attention and Learning in Infancy.

Rose, Susan A.; Futterweit, Lorelle R.; Jankowski, Jeffrey J.

Child Development, v70 n3 p549-59 May-Jun 1999

Examined the relation of positive affect to attention and learning in 5-, 7-, and 9-month olds. Found that at all ages positive affect was associated with long look durations and slower learning. Neutral affect was associated with short looks and faster learning. Learning was faster than expected for infants displaying both short looks and neutral affect. (Author/KB)
