Last emotion to develop is fear because it takes us time to have experiences and learn what we are afraid of: prepared learning: the idea that animals are prepared by natural selection to attend to and acquire some things more readily than others, babies are particularly attuned to learning to fear biologically relevant stimuli (spiders, snakes) than other fears. Emotional recognition: the ability to recognize or become aware of emotions in: infants are able to recognize some emotions from the beginning, contagious crying: crying that occurs when newborns cry in response to the cries of other newborns, neonatal imitation: infants tend to imitate the emotional expression of others adults, infants have an understanding of what normal social contact is and will show signs of distress if their communication partner becomes unresponsive, infants are more sensitive to and better recognize positive emotions than negatives ones.
