The Ability of Visually Impaired Children to Read Expressions and Recognize Faces.

Ellis, H. D.; And Others

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v81 n10 p485-86 Dec 1987

Seventeen visually impaired children, aged 7-11 years, were compared with sighted children on a test of facial recognition and a test of expression identification. The visually impaired children were less able to recognize faces successfully but showed no disadvantage in discerning facial expressions such as happiness, anger, surprise, or fear. (Author/JDD)
