DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised proposal describes a longitudinal study that addresses both basic and applied questions regarding early child development by examining basic emotion and cognitive processes. We propose to examine the trajectories of emotional and cognitive control and understanding at three time points across the preschool to kindergarten period and assess their relation to early social and academic functioning in kindergarten. The theoretical framework guiding this work hypothesizes that emotional control will affect the trajectories of cognitive development, but that both sets of processes will predict successful adjustment to kindergarten. This framework also specifies a moderating effect of parenting processes in differentially affecting these emotional and cognitive developments. Three hundred children will be assessed at ages 3.5, 4.5, and during the child's transition to kindergarten. At each age, a battery of emotion and cognition tasks will be administered and parent-child interaction will be observed. In addition, during the kindergarten assessment, measures of social and academic competence will be collected. The proposal is a significant and necessary first step toward (1) specifying the core emotion and cognition processes that are implicated in early social and academic success; (2) understanding the developmental trajectories of these processes and the connections between these process; and (3) identifying the parenting factors that affect these emotion and cognition trajectories.

描述（由申请人提供）：该修订的建议描述了一项纵向研究，该研究通过检查基本情绪和认知过程来解决有关早期儿童发展的基本和应用问题。我们建议在幼儿园的三个时间点上检查情绪和认知控制和理解的轨迹，并评估它们与幼儿园早期社会和学术功能的关系。指导这项工作的理论框架假设情绪控制将影响认知发展的轨迹，但是两组过程都将预测对幼儿园的成功调整。该框架还指定了育儿过程在差异影响这些情绪和认知发展方面的调节作用。将在3.5、4.5岁和孩子过渡到幼儿园期间评估三百名儿童。在每个年龄段，都将执行一系列的情绪和认知任务，并观察到亲子的互动。此外，在幼儿园评估期间，将收集社会和学术能力的措施。该提案是迈向（1）指定与早期社会和学术成就有关的核心情感和认知过程的重要第一步； （2）了解这些过程的发展轨迹以及这些过程之间的联系； （3）确定影响这些情绪和认知轨迹的育儿因素。
