For example, more evidence for children’s cognitive appraisals during stress would help strengthen current models of stress and coping, or provide direction for modifying models to more accurately capture the processes at work for young infants. ![]() However, future research is needed to enhance and better articulate these models for infants and young children. These models elucidate the processes that may be at work during times of stress and the mechanisms underlying exposure to certain risk and stress and later development. Understandably, currently models of stress and coping in infancy are based on adult models.
