Differential Salience of Facial Features in Children's Perception of Affective Expression.
Cunningham, Joseph G.; Odom, Richard D.
Child Development, v57 n1 p136-42 Feb 1986
In the first of two tasks, 5- and 11-year-olds recalled the array location of social photographs of an unfamiliar adult expressing anger, disgust, fear, joy, and shame. In the second task, subjects were tested for their incidental recall of those features which were not previously isolated. Results indicated a mouth-eyes-nose hierarchy for identity perception.
