Latent profiles of maternal neural response to infant emotional stimuli: Associations with maternal sensitivity

In the current study, we examined how latent profiles reflecting maternal neural response to infant emotional expressions predict observed parenting behavior. Participants included 86 mothers of infants. Maternal sensitivity was coded from video-recorded distress and play interactions; mothers’ event-related potentials (ERPs) to child emotional expressions were measured from EEG activity recorded during a categorization task. Latent profile...
