Starting from LeDoux’s studies on amygdala [1], that show how emotions are the result of a complex interplay of conscious and unconscious processes, we focuse on the recent psychological concept of emotional intelligence ad its developmental implications. Following Salovey e Mayer [2] emotional intelligence is a set of aware abilities that people develop and learn to manage emotions in everyday life. From a developmental point of view, we describe qualitative important changes regarding children’s emotional competence, what some authors recently call ‘metaemotion’ [3]. We suggest that the development of metaemotion could be related to quantitative important neurological changes on one hand, and to maturation of neural connections among different brain systems (e.g., language, memory) on the other hand

Abstract
Starting from LeDoux’s studies on amygdala [1], that show how emotions are the result of a complex interplay of conscious and unconscious processes, we focuse on the recent psychological concept of emotional intelligence ad its developmental implications. Following Salovey e Mayer [2] emotional intelligence is a set of aware abilities that people develop and learn to manage emotions in everyday life. From a developmental point of view, we describe qualitative important changes regarding children’s emotional competence, what some authors recently call ‘metaemotion’ [3]. We suggest that the development of metaemotion could be related to quantitative important neurological changes on one hand, and to maturation of neural connections among different brain systems (e.g., language, memory) on the other hand
