Generalized Discrimination of Positive Facial Expressions by Seven- and Ten-Month-Old Infants.
Ludemann, Pamela M.
Child Development, v62 n1 p55-67 Feb 1991
Infants were tested for recognition and discrimination of expressions. Ten-month olds familiar with a mix of happy and surprised expressions demonstrated generalized discrimination of positive affect. Only after seven months does dependence on the presence of expression-specific features for affect recognition and discrimination diminish. (BC)
