Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Finland
Emotion 9:560-5. 2009..Together, these results provide evidence that threat-related stimuli tend to hold attention preferentially in 7-month-old infants and that the effect does not reflect a simple response to differentially salient eyes in fearful faces... - Differential early ERPs to fearful versus neutral facial expressions: a response to the salience of the eyes?Jukka M Leppanen
