The impact of affective touch on physiological self-regulation among preschool-age children
The preschool period marks a crucial transition from a regulatory environment primarily governed by parents to children’s emerging capacity for autonomous control over their behavior and emotions. Affective touch, mediated by activation of C-tactile afferents may play a pivotal role in facilitating this transition by supporting physiological vagal activity, which eventually becomes integrated into processes of emotional and behavioral self-regula…
Touching Emotions
Emotion recognition is an essential social ability that continues to develop across adolescence, a period of critical socio-emotional changes. In the present study, we examine how signals from different sensory modalities, specifically touch and facial expressions, are integrated into a holistic understanding of another's feelings. Adolescents ( n = 30) and young adults ( n = 30) were presented with dynamic faces displaying either a positive (hap…
Touch and look
In a complex social environment, stimuli from different sensory modalities need to be integrated to decode communicative meanings. From very early in life, infants have to combine a multitude of sensory features with social and affective attributes. Of all senses, touch constitutes a privileged channel to carry affective‐motivational meanings and foster social connection. In the present study, we investigate whether sharing sensory stimulation th…
Emotion Recognition in Preterm and Full-Term School-Age Children
Children born preterm (<37 weeks’ gestation) show a specific vulnerability for socio-emotional difficulties, which may lead to an increased likelihood of developing behavioral and psychiatric problems in adolescence and adulthood. The accurate decoding of emotional signals from faces represents a fundamental prerequisite for early social interactions, allowing children to derive information about others’ feelings and intentions. The present study…
In Touch with the Heartbeat
The sense of touch is the first manner of contact with the external world, providing a foundation for the development of sensorimotor skills and socio-affective behaviors. In particular, affective touch is at the core of early interpersonal interactions and the developing bodily self, promoting the balance between internal physiological state and responsiveness to external environment. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether newbor…
