Gao, Xiaoqing; Maurer, Daphne; Nishimura, Mayu – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2010
We explored the perceptual structure of facial expressions of six basic emotions, varying systematically in intensity, in adults and children aged 7 and 14 years. Multidimensional scaling suggested that three- or four-dimensional structures were optimal for all groups. Two groups of adults demonstrated nearly identical structure, which had…

Modeling Face Identification Processing in Children and Adults.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schwarzer, Gudrun; Massaro, Dominic W. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2001
Two experiments studied whether and how 5-year-olds integrate single facial features to identify faces. Results indicated that children could evaluate and integrate information from eye and mouth features to identify a face when salience of features was varied. A weighted Fuzzy Logical Model of Perception fit better than a Single Channel Model,…
