Course/lecture: children's emotional and social adjustment and cognitive development


Humans are different from other animals in many ways. For example, we have a language, creativity, impuls-control and several other mentala abilities which are called the executive functions.

 Peter Österberg is an expert in evolutionary social neuropsychology, including social aspects of human emotions. He earned his PhD in psychology from Lund university. Prior to that, he conducted research about how parent-relations affect children's emotional adjustment.

During the course, the participants will get acquainted with the following concepts:

The executive functions can be divided into a three-.part structure:
  • emotional adjustment.

  • Social adjustment.

  • Cognitive development. Numeric and visuo-spatial perception.
Mental adjustment and development makes a huge leap during the first four (4) years of living (Baumrind, 1966; Gopnik, 2016; Hart and Risley, 1995).

Children who from 3 month of age grove up with both parents or the father have better emotional and social adjustment, as well as cognitive development compared to children who grow up only with their mother (Rolle et al. 2019; Sethna et al. 2017; Vieno et al. 2009, 2014; Österberg, 2004).

Time: 5 - 8 pm.

Price (per person) in Helsinki/Esbo/Vanda area: 299 euros plus VAT.

Place outside of Helsinki/Esbo/Vanda, Finland: travel and hotel cost for the course leader will be added.

Minimum size of the group: 10 persons.
