Neural correlates of emotional intelligencein adolescent children

I choice the article to understand the relationship between neural and emotional intelligence skills among adolescent children. Emotional intelligence skills forms the basis for students to perform better in the classrooms and society at large. Emotional intelligence is effective and productive utilization of emotions to achieve individual and community’s desires. Children utilize a much soft-skills to promote emotional intelligence that they are able to benefit from. This implies that emotional intelligence skills accelerates the performance of the children.

In the article, “Neural correlates of emotional intelligencein adolescent children”, Killgore and Yurgelun-Todd (2007) found out that there exists a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and cerebellum and visual association cortex’s activities. This implies that one is able to recognize his/her feelings and those of other people in order to motivate oneself and be able to control emotions well in relationship with oneself and other people. It is evident from the article that the construct of self-reported emotional intelligence in adolescents increases with decrease in the efficiency of neural processing within the somatic marker circuity during emotional provocation and vice versa. According to the authors’ findings, adolescents with the greatest degree of emotional intelligence seemed to have the least reactivity within the major neuroanatomic regions of the somatic marker circuitry. This is in adolescents’ response to emotional provocative stimuli.

I learnt that carrying out training among the adolescent children regularly would ensure their wellbeing and that of the community. Training adolescents increase their ability to think critically. This is attributed to increased performance of adolescents in classroom and community. Adolescents with high levels of emotional intelligence are in a good position to inculcate unity and
