- EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) : EMDR is the acronym of Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and refers to a technique for reducing fear or anxiety ; based on holding upsetting thoughts in mind while rapidly moving the eyes from side to side. Designed first for Post traumatic stress, EMDR requires that the patient visualize a most upsetting memory and accompanying physical sensations. The clients repeat negative self -statements that they associate with the scene. The patient follows the therapist’s finger as it moves rapidly back and forth. After completing the eye movements, the client stops thinking about the scene. This procedure is repeated again and again until the client’s anxiety is reduced.

In psychology, "emergence" refers to the phenomenon where complex behaviors or properties arise from the interaction of simpler components or elements, without any inherent guidance or direction from an external agent. Emergence is often studied in the context of complex systems such as the brain, social groups, or ecosystems.

Emergency response in the psychology context refers to the immediate and strategic interventions designed to address acute psychological distress and mental health crises. This includes the application of psychological first aid, crisis counseling, and support services to individuals and communities affected by traumatic events, disasters, or other significant stressors.
Emergent literacy refer to the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are presumed to be developmental precursors to conventional forms of reading and writing and the environments that support these developments. They are skills and knowledge about literacy that children acquire before they learn to read, such as knowing how to hold a book and turn the pages, knowing that words and stories are contained in the print on the page, and knowing that the print on signs and labels contains information.
Emergent norm theory is defined as an explanation of collective behavior suggesting that the uniformity in behavior usually observed in collectives is caused by members’ conformity to unique normative standards that develop spontaneously in those groups.
Emergentism is defined as the contention that mental processes emerge from brain processes. The interactionist form of Emergentism claims that once mental states emerge, they can influence subsequent brain activity and thus behavior. The epiphenomenalist form claims that emergent mental states are behaviorally irrelevant. Emergentism, moreover is defined as the view that new knowledge can arise from the interaction of biologically based learning processes and input from the environment. It differs from constructivism in its explicit claim that what emerges from the process of innate structure operating on environmental input can be more than was provided in either the innate structure or the input.
