“…Generally, language development is seen as a continuous process where important components are founded in infancy. Several authors have studied the infant and its meeting with the environment from a neuro-psychological perspective (Trevarthen & Marwick, 1986). Such research has led to the view of the child as the "competent infant"; the competence is communicative to a large degree.…”

The parents' view on hearing screening in newborns: Feelings, thoughts and opinions on otoacoustic emissions screening

Since September 1995, universal hearing screening of newborns has been carried out at the Linköping University Hospital with the aid of otoacoustic emissions. The present study is based on interviews with parents in order to get their views on neonatal hearing screening. A total of 49 persons participated in the interviews, the parents of 26 children. A clearly positive attitude to the test was expressed by a majority of parents, and the screening seemed to cause very little anxiety. Parents whose child passed directly, or after one re-test, were very positive to hearing screening. The few parents whose children had to be tested more than twice took a more ambivalent view. Anxiety was evoked when the child did not pass the first retest; this was a critical point. Another important point was when parents finally were given a definite answer as to whether the child had a hearing impairment or not; the anxiety then seemed to fade. These parents need individual counselling and support during the time of audiological assessment, and a plan for future action. From the parents' perspective the advantage of hearing screening is the potential to help and understand their child at the earliest possible time if a hearing impairment is detected.

“…In the second year a toddler is highly expressive and intensely interested in the traffic of meanings for and with others (Trevarthen & Marwick 1986). When observed with the mother in a new place, he or she does not take interest in objects just as accessories to sensory-motor schemata; they have creative symbolic attributes that are evaluated in transactions with the mother who also knows what the objects are usually for.…”

“…Trevarthen and Marwick compared two working class and five upper-middle class mothers in Edinburgh over the period from 16 to 41 weeks when their infants were gaining the capacity to share a task (Trevarthen & Marwick 1986). Between the 30th and 40th weeks, when the infants became more cooperative, mothers increased their directive or command forms of utterance, reduced their statements and asked fewer questions about what the infant was interested.…”

Moving Ourselves, Moving Others: Motion and Emotion in Intersubjectivity, Consciousness, and Language

Consciousness & Emotion Book Series publishes original works on this topic, in philosophy, psychology and the neurosciences. The series emphasizes thoughtful analysis of the implications of both empirical and experiential (e.g., clinical psychological) approaches to emotion. It will include topical works by scientists who are interested in the implications of their empirical findings for an understanding of emotion and consciousness and their interrelations. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication DataMoving ourselves, moving others : motion and emotion in intersubjectivity, consciousness and language / edited by Ad Foolen... [et al.]. An electronic version of this book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched. KU is a collaborative initiative designed to make high quality books Open Access for the public good. The Open Access isbn for this book is 978 90 272 7491 5. IntroductionThis book is inspired by the theme session "Intersubjectivity and Language: The Interplay of Cognition and Emotion" held at the 10th International Cognitive Linguistics Conference in Krakow, Poland, in July 2007. As organizers of the session, we felt that an interdisciplinary volume on this matter would be an appropriate follow-up. In addition to contributors from the theme session, we invited authors who are well known in the field. Their positive response led to a total of 16 papers, which we grouped into 3 Parts: I Consciousness, II Intersubjectivity, and III Language. We asked each of the contributors to discuss these 'higher functions' of the human mind from the foundational perspective of motion and/or emotion (See Figure 1 in the Prologue). The polyphonous result contains, we think, many harmonizing but also some disharmonizing tones. As such, the volume constitutes a relevant contribution to the actual discussions in the humanities with respect to the human mind. The 16 papers are framed by a Prologue and an Epilogue. Jordan Zlatev, one of the editors and also co-author of one of the papers in Part III, wrote the Prologue in which he introduces each paper in the overarching perspective of motion and emotion. Colwyn Trevarthen, co-author of one of the papers in Part II, followed our request to write an Epilogue, in which he reflects on the contributions of the volume and places them in a historical perspective. Editing a voluminous collection as the present one does not involve much motion, besides moving fingers and hand on keyboard and mouse. A good deal of emotion was and is involved, however. Above all feelings of thankfulness. First of all, our gratitude goes to the authors for their work and patient cooperation over the years that the volume took shape. Secondly, we thank the colleagues who were willing to act as anonymous reviewers for the different papers. Special thanks go to Ralph Ellis, co-editor of the Consciousness & Emotion Book Series in which this volume is being published. Ralph has given us useful support along the way and even felt inspired to contribute, ...

“…Infants have a readiness for communicating from the beginning of life (Trevarthen, 2004;Trevarthen & Marwick, 1986). This ability to interact with and to attach to another human being is crucial for the infant's survival and might therefore serve evolutionary purposes (Trevarthen, 2004).…”

Emotional interplay and communication with patients diagnosed with schizophrenia

Emotional interplay and communication with patients diagnosed with schizophrenia was studied in clinical interviews. Fifty-one video recorded interviews were conducted by two psychologists with nine patients. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used in three successive studies. Study I examined the communicative interplay on an overall level, including verbal and nonverbal means of communication. The interviewer's willingness to explore and pursue the emotional content in the patient's narrative was found to be important for establishing well functioning communication. In Study II, the stability over time of facial affective expressions in the emotional interplay was evaluated, using EMFACS. For the patients, no substantial changes in the amount of affects were found across all the interview occasions, although for one interviewer, contempt slightly increased. Whereas previous findings found contempt to be the most frequent affect in patients, in the present material disgust was as common, but depended on the interviewer. Study III investigated gaze behaviour and facial affective expressiveness. The objective was to test whether patients reduced their negative facial affectivity during mutual gaze. The patients were found to not reduce their negative facial affectivity during the state of mutual gaze. This finding was independent of both interview occasion and interviewer and implies that the patients might have intended to communicate negative facial affectivity to the interviewer. The research suggests that the emotional interplay is dominated by the negative facial affective expressions of mainly disgust and contempt. It is proposed that these negative affects may be connected to a patient's low self-esteem, as the self in schizophrenia may be engrained by self-disgusting and self-contemptive affective experiences. The interviewer's capacity to respond to these negative facial expressions must therefore be considered as important.
