Document Summary

Human form many social relations during development: some are transitory, some relations are enduring and important, they are transactional. Smiling and crying are important behavioural tools for an infant: as we get older, the way in which we express our emotions may change based on our culture, but as a baby its very universal. Evolutionary: babies are programmed with behaviours (crying) that bring the mother close, mothers are programmed to detect certain noises like crying to respond to baby, there is a very strong attachment between the mom and the baby. Cognitive-developmental: mother and child develop working mental models of each others behaviour, develop social abilities though internal models formed. Sociocultural: biology interacts with culture to influence social and emotional development.
