Infant Reactivity and Reliance on Mother during Emotion Challenges: Prediction of Cognition and Language Skills in a Low-Income Sample.

Robinson, JoAnn L.; Acevedo, Marcela C.

Child Development, v72 n2 p402-15 Mar-Apr 2001

Examined association between infants' emotional reactivity and reliance on mother and cognitive and language development at 2 years. Found that infants with high reactivity and reliance on mother during emotion challenges had higher cognitive and language skills than infants with low reactivity and reliance. Poor developmental outcomes were related to high distress and low reliance on mother. (Author/KB)
