Production and Discrimination of Facial Expressions by Preschool Children.
Field, Tiffany M.; Walden, Tedra A.
Child Development, v53 n5 p1299-311 Oct 1982
The production and discrimination of eight basic facial expressions were investigated among 34 preschool children three to five years of age. Children's productions were elicited and videotaped under four different prompting conditions. Children's discrimination of drawings depicting facial expressions, sociometric ratings, and spontaneous expressions were assessed along with teachers' ratings and adults' judgments of facial expressions.
