Abstract:
Here we advance the proposal that in addition to the importance of emotion words, the dynamics of allostatic regulation play a central role in emotion concept development. We argue for a comprehensive extension of constructed emotion theory to emotional development. To do so, we emphasize possible mechanisms for emotion concept differentiation that may occur before linguistic and semantic skills necessary for constructing and using abstract concepts are sufficiently developed.
