Toddlers regulate their behavior to avoid making adults angry

Category - Education License - Standard YouTube License Toddlers who overhear adults disagreeing can use that emotional information to guide their own behavior, according to research study from the Institute of Learning & Brain Sciences. This re-enactment of the experiment begins with a warm-up trial as an experimenter shows a toy to a 15-month-old boy and then he gets a chance to play with them. Then a second adult, the "Emoter," enters the room.
The experimenter shows her how to play with a toy, a strand of beads that make a rattling sound when dropped into a plastic cup. The Emoter calls these actions "aggravating" and "annoying." When the child has a chance to play with the beads and cup while the Emoter watches with a neutral facial expression, he doesn’t play with the toy. This demonstrates that he’s using the emotional information to regulate his own behavior. The experiment was published in the October/November 2014 issue of the journal Cognitive Development with the title, "Infant, control thyself: Infants' integration of multiple social cues to regulate their imitative behavior."

On March 18th of this year, the Poor Clare Order celebrated the 8th Centenary of the investiture of St. Clare . At our monastery, we were able to celebrate in the best possible way: by having an investiture ceremony ourselves! Postulant Joscelyn Voight followed in the footsteps of our Mother St. Clare and became Sister Mary Angelique of the Infant Jesus. This video shows the simple, yet dramatic and symbolic transformation of a Poor Clare postulant into a white veiled novice.
