Vervloed, Mathijs P. J.; Hendriks, Angelique W.; van den Eijnde, Esther – Brain and Cognition, 2011
Face processing development is negatively affected when infants have not been exposed to faces for some time because of congenital cataract blocking all vision (Le Grand, Mondloch, Maurer, & Brent, 2001). It is not clear, however, whether more subtle differences in face exposure may also have an influence. The present study looked at the effect of…

Clifford, Alexandra; Franklin, Anna; Davies, Ian R. L.; Holmes, Amanda – Brain and Cognition, 2009
The origin of color categories has been debated by psychologists, linguists and cognitive scientists for many decades. Here, we present the first electrophysiological evidence for categorical responding to color before color terms are acquired. Event-related potentials were recorded on a visual oddball task in 7-month old infants. Infants were…

Grossmann, Tobias; Striano, Tricia; Friederici, Angela D. – Brain and Cognition, 2007
Event-related brain potentials were measured in 7- and 12-month-old infants to examine the development of processing happy and angry facial expressions. In 7-month-olds a larger negativity to happy faces was observed at frontal, central, temporal and parietal sites (Experiment 1), whereas 12-month-olds showed a larger negativity to angry faces at…
