Affective Expressions of Toddlers with and without Down Syndrome in a Social Referencing Context.

Knieps, Linda J.; And Others

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v99 n3 p301-12 Nov 1994

Affective expressions of 11 toddlers with Down's syndrome and 11 toddlers with no disabilities were compared during participation with a parent in a social referencing procedure. Although expressions of both toddler groups were equally labile and intense, only toddlers without Down's syndrome tended to match their parents' expressions. (Author/DB)
