Cross-sectional evidence suggests that attention bias to threat is linked to anxiety disorders
and anxiety vulnerability in both children and adults. However, there is a lack of …

An ongoing debate in affective science concerns whether certain discrete,“basic” emotions
have evolutionarily based signals (facial expressions) that are easily, universally, and …

Emotionally-salient stimuli receive selective attention and elicit complex neural responses
that evolve considerably across development. Event-related potentials (ERPs) optimally …

In the present study we examined the neural correlates of facial emotion processing in the
first year of life using ERP measures and cortical source analysis. EEG data were collected …

Bilingual infants show an extended period of looking at the mouth of talking faces, which
provides them with additional articulatory cues that can be used to boost the challenging …

This preregistered study examined how face masks influenced face memory in a North
American sample of 6‐to 9‐month‐old infants (N= 58) born during the COVID‐19 pandemic …

Objective Trauma, particularly when experienced early in life, can alter neurophysiologic
and behavioral development, thereby increasing risk for substance use disorders and …

Research investigating the early development of emotional processing has focused mainly
on infants' perception of static facial emotional expressions, likely restricting the amount and …

Affect‐biased attention reflects the prioritization of attention to stimuli that individuals deem
to be motivationally and/or affectively salient. Normative affect‐biased attention is early …

Electrophysiological studies on adults suggest that humans are efficient at detecting threat
from facial information and tend to grant these signals a priority in access to attention …
