Afektivna vezanost u kontekstu kognitivnog razvoja - pedagoške implikacije

Abstract

In psychology, affective and cognitive development are often observed and studied as different and separate processes. However, in the last decades, a different idea has been studied in psychology: the idea that the affective and cognitive development are related, that is, the affective relationship between mother and child in the early developmental period, which can be developed as safe or unsafe, is to a certain extent related to the development of cognition. The success of children in various cognitive tasks in relation to patterns of affective attachment, as well as their overall behavior during the test situation had been studied. The researchers also dealt with the question ofmediating mechanisms or mediators between affective and cognitive development. The text will first discuss the theory of affective attachment, and then the basic research findings from this field will be presented, as well as the possible mediating mechanisms or mediators in the relationship of affective attachment and cognitive development.
