Walz, Nicolay Chertkoff; Benson, Betsey A. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1996
The ability of 18 aggressive and 21 nonaggressive men with moderate mental retardation to label and discriminate facial expressions was investigated. Although aggressive participants did not have greater difficulty with emotion labeling, they did have a negative emotional bias for facial expressions that were ambiguous to them. (Author/CR)
