Infants' Perception of Dynamic Affective Expressions: Do Infants Distinguish Specific Expressions?

Soken, Nelson H.; Pick, Anne D.

Child Development, v70 n6 p1275-82 Nov-Dec 1999

A preferential looking procedure was used to investigate 7-month-olds' perception of positive and negative affective facial expressions in which a single vocal expression was concordant or discordant with the videotaped facial expression. Results indicated that 7-month-olds discriminated among happy, interested, angry, and sad expressions. (Author/KB)
