Examination of the relations between brain electrical activity and emotion can be greatly informed by also considering cognition. Psychologists have long struggled with creating a framework for conceptualizing relations between affect and reason (Izard, 1993; Lazrus, 1982; Zajonc, 1980), and more recently have focused on examining interactions between cognition and emotion from both behavioral and brain-based approaches (Sherer, 2003). Although, the field of developmental psychology has traditionally compartmentalized emotion development and cognitive development, there have been recent attempts to integrate these processes conceptually using a neuroscience perspective (e.g., Bell & Deater-Deckard, 2007; Dennis, 2010; Lewis & Todd, 2007; Posner & Rothbart, 2000; Thompson, Lewis, & Calkins, 2008; Zelazo & Cunningham, 2007). Empirical studies with EEG and ERP measures can be used to support these conceptual models (see Fox, Kirwan, & Reeb-Sutherland, this volume, for specifics on measuring EEG/ERP associated with emotion).
