Title: School Readiness: Integrating Cognition and Emotion in a Neurobiological Conceptualization of Children's Functioning at School Entry.Author(s): Blair, Clancy

Examines the construct of emotionality, developmental relations between cognition
and emotion, and neural plasticity and frontal cortical functioning. Proposes
a developmental neurobiological model of self-regulation skills development, noting
implications for children's school readiness. Suggests direct links among emotionality,
use-dependent synaptic stabilization related to the prefrontal cortex, development
of executive function abilities, and academic and social competence. (Contains
