“…In studies with typically developing persons, better performance on emotion recognition tasks was found when dynamic faces were used, in comparison with static faces (Harwood, Hall, & Shinkfield, 1999;Wehrle, Kaiser, Schmidt, & Scherer, 2000). Similar findings were obtained with individuals with ASD (Back et al, 2007).…”

“…Identification studies in which few distracters and static but ecologically valid stimuli were used showed no performance differences between participants with mental retardation and typically developing children of equivalent mental ages [1], though investigators employing identification tasks with more distracters or ambiguous stimuli found relative performance deficits [10,11]. In the present study subjects with mental retardation perform less well than normal children on subtle pictures and comics because they may not be confident in their own abilities to understand a stimulus that does not contain cues they have previously experienced.…”

Deficits in intellectual ability have been linked to deficits in emotion understanding and consequently social competence. Research suggests that individuals with mental retardation exhibit deficits in their ability to identify emotional states in themselves and others, relative to normal mental age matched controls and peers and display an inability to decode facial expressions of emotion. Emotional experience is elicited in part by a cognitive appraisal of a situation toward a goal. However, the ecological validity of previous studies is limited. In this study we developed new materials to investigate the emotion understanding skills of persons with mild to moderate mental retardation. Six tasks included faces displaying emotion in context, comic strips, audio, video and audiovisual material of individuals expressing emotions in context. Results indicated that the mentally retarded were able to identify emotions in context than expressions without context and emotion understanding improved with increasing contextual cues and dynamic content.Intellectual ability has long been considered an important aspect of emotion understanding. Research suggests that individuals with mental retardation exhibit deficits in their ability to identify emotional states in themselves and others, relative to normal mental age matched controls and peers [1] and display an inability to decode facial expressions of emotion [2]. Emotional experience is elicited in part by a cognitive appraisal of a situation with respect to a goal. Emotions alter thought process often by directing attention toward some things and away from others. According to [3], emotional experiences are passions that happen to an individual, not actions s/he initiates. The subjective aspects of emotions are experiences that are both triggered by the thinking self and experienced by the self as happening to the self. The objective aspect of emotion consists of both learned and innate expressive displays and internal bodily responses. Both subjective and objective aspects of emotions can vary in intensity. Emotions are also expressed through body language or non verbal behavior.Facial expressions reveal a variety of basic emotions. Even body movement and positioning can convey a certain amount of emotion information. Emotional information is thus conveyed in the form of linguistic (semantic content of spoken language) and paralinguistic (facial expressions, vocal prosody, physical gestures and body postures) cues [4]. Recognition of emotion allows individuals to make quick inferences about the probable intentions and behavior of others. Emotions prepare individuals for action and also determine a change in those actions (how much we delay, approach or avoid and how well we perform a task). Emotion is the link between the event and response and helps shape future behaviour for more efficient interaction and communication with others. According to [2] the ability to distinguish whether a person is happy, furious or surprised is a basic human skill with consid...

This study investigates the e#ects of motion on the recognition of emotional facial expressions. Facial motions that express emotions have two aspects: configuration changes from a neutral face to the full-blown expression and temporal information, including dynamic changes. Sixty participants were presented with three types of facial stimuli. Dynamic faces included only temporal information and static faces were presented in a full-blown expression. First-last faces were constituted from a neutral face and a full-blown static face. These facial stimuli consisted of eight kinds of emotions (lively happy, relaxed, surprised, sleepy, fearful, angry, and sad) according to a dimensional perspective. The participants evaluated each of the facial stimulus items according to three methods: the A#ect Grid (Russell, Weiss, & Mendelsohn, 1989), the forced choice task and Likert's method (Likert, 1932). The results showed that recognition for low-activation emotional faces (sleepy, sad, and relaxed) was facilitated by temporal information, while recognition of high-activation emotional faces (surprised, angry, and happy) was influenced by the presentation duration of full-blown expressions.
