No own-age advantage in children's recognition of emotion on prototypical faces of different ages

This study investigated whether children have an advantage in recognising emotions on the faces of children who are the same age as them. In the experimental task younger children, older children and adults labelled the 6 basic facial expressions shown on older child, younger child and adult face prototypes. Participants in this study were consented under procedures that did not include consent for data to be made open.
