Infants' Use of Attentional Cues To Identify the Referent of Another Person's Emotional Expression.
Repacholi, Betty M.
Developmental Psychology, v34 n5 p1017-25 Sep 1998
Explored 14- and 18-month olds' ability to identify the target of the experimenter's emotional display of happiness or disgust in response to something seen or felt inside a box. Findings suggested that, regardless of age, infants used the experimenter's attentional cues to interpret her emotional signals and behaved as if they understood that she was communicating about the objects.
