Abstract
The systematic study of the sensory and learning processes of infants is a rather recent science; indeed, infants far surpass what we "knew" about their capacity for learning a few decades ago. Emotion and learning are closely intertwined, because behaviors that elicit positive emotional response are repeated and learned. Understanding these processes can optimize care of newborns by both professionals and parents.
