Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dynamic systems perspective emphasizes that emotional development is an active process in which children coordinate and integrate separate skills (such as facial expressions, motor behavior, and vocalizations) into more complex, emotionally expressive systems as the central nervous system develops. This coordination is influenced by the demands of the environment, children's goals and desires, and their experiences. Emotions do not simply emerge from within, but are actively constructed by children as they interact with their surroundings.
