What's in a baby-cry? Locationist and constructionist frameworks in parental brain responses
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 May 2012
Abstract
Parental brain responses to baby stimuli constitute a unique model to study brain-basis frameworks of emotion. Results for baby-cry and picture stimuli may fit with both locationist and psychological constructionist hypotheses. Furthermore, the utility of either model may depend on postpartum timing and relationship. Endocrine effects may also be critical for accurate models to assess mental health risk and treatment.
