Abstract
Fischer and Mascolo and colleagues have developed a comprehensive model of emotional development in relation to Fischer’s model of cognitive development. They took pains to show how some basic emotions evolve through steps in their cognitive model. In the following, I describe that work, and show how it can be revised according to my model. Without their first efforts for these emotions (pride, shame, guilt, anger), the modifications described in the present work could not have been constructed.
