The Generalized Discrimination of Facial Expressions by Seven-Month-Old Infants.
Nelson, Charles A.; Dolgin, Kim G.
Child Development, v56 n1 p58-61 Feb 1985
Examined seven-month-old infants' perceptions of happy and fearful facial expressions. Infants could generalize discrimination of expressions across male and female faces if first familiarized with happy faces. Infants tended to look longer at fear faces than at happy faces. Preferential responding was not specific to any individual face. (Author/RH)
