“…A few studies have examined autonomic coordination within the cardiac system using either person-oriented profile-based conceptualizations of autonomic coordination (Alkon, Boyce, Davis, & Eskenazi, 2011;Salomon, Matthews, & Allen, 2000) or interactive, continuous analytic approaches (Clark, Skowron, Giuliano, & Fisher, 2016;Rudd & Yates, 2018;Suurland, van der Heijden, Huijbregts, Van Goozen, & Swaab, 2017). These studies have revealed interesting developmental patterns (e.g., coordinated profiles of regulatory activity appear to increase across the first five years of life; Alkon et al, 2011Alkon et al, , 2014 and adaptive implications of autonomic coordination (e.g., children who had interactive patterns of sympathetic and parasympathetic coactivation or coinhibition in response to interpersonal stress as infants show higher levels of physical aggression than those who evidenced reciprocal autonomic coordination; Suurland et al, 2017).…”
