Abstract
Emotion regulation (ER) is a predictor of positive adjustment across the lifespan, yet little is known about the neurocognitive underpinnings in child development. Findings suggest the late positive potential (LPP) is a context-sensitive index of child ER such that children’s reappraisal capacity is bolstered by parent presence and interaction.
