Interpretation of Emotion from Facial Expressions in Children with and without Learning Disabilities.

Holder, Harriett B.; Kirkpatrick, Sue W.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v24 n3 p170-77 Mar 1991

The time required for 96 children (ages 8-15) with and without learning disabilities to interpret emotions based on from facial expressions, and the accuracy of those interpretations, were investigated. Children with learning disabilities were less accurate and spent more time identifying specific emotions. Both age and sex influenced response time. (Author/JDD)
