Document Summary

Issues in development: neural development, visual development. Schachter"s theory, one can experience emotion without arousal, but the intensity of the emotion might be lower. In general, right hemisphere plays greater role than left: hauser (1993) Emotion is triggered on the left because of counter lateral control. At peak intensity greater expression on left: note: Left frontal lobe more involved in positive emotions, right in negative. Humans remember negatives things better than positive things. More activity in left when watching happy films, more in right for sad/disgusting films. Probably hardwired in the brain, pick up very easily. Development: change in abilities over time. What influences development: nature vs. nurture, maturation learning, obviously -> interaction. Stagelike development: discontinuous stages separated by rapid growth, qualitative difference. Each stage are different from each other. E. g. caterpillar, its life cycle, in stages to become a butterfly. Look the same, do the same: quantitative difference. Adult can do things better than young ones,
