Emotion recognition and social adjustment in school-aged girls and boysJ M Leppänen

Differential early ERPs to fearful versus neutral facial expressions: a response to the salience of the eyes?Jukka M Leppanen

Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Finland

Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland

This article reviews and discusses the results of these studies... - Emotional face processing deficit in schizophrenia: A replication study in a South African Xhosa populationJ M Leppänen
Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, FIN 33014 University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland
Schizophr Res 84:323-30. 2006..These findings suggest that the deficit in the recognition of negative facial expressions may constitute a universal neurocognitive marker of schizophrenia... - Depression biases the recognition of emotionally neutral facesJukka M Leppanen
Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, FIN 33014 University of Tampere, Finland
Psychiatry Res 128:123-33. 2004..These results suggest that, unlike healthy subjects, depression-prone individuals do not seem to perceive neutral faces as unambiguous signals of emotional neutrality... - Affect and face perception: odors modulate the recognition advantage of happy facesJukka M Leppanen
Human Information Processing Lab, Dept of Psychology, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland
Emotion 3:315-26. 2003.... - Positive facial expressions are recognized faster than negative facial expressions, but why?Jukka M Leppanen
Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, 33014, Finland
Psychol Res 69:22-9. 2004..Together, these results suggest that the happy face advantage may reflect a higher-level asymmetry in the recognition and categorization of emotionally positive and negative signals... - Serotonin and early cognitive development: variation in the tryptophan hydroxylase 2 gene is associated with visual attention in 7-month-old infantsJukka M Leppanen
Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Finland
J Child Psychol Psychiatry 52:1144-52. 2011..Here, we examined the hypothesis that the TPH2 -703 may act during early stages of development and bias the acquisition of elementary cognitive processes involved in attention and emotion regulation... - Seeing direct and averted gaze activates the approach-avoidance motivational brain systemsJari K Hietanen
Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, FIN 33014, Finland
Neuropsychologia 46:2423-30. 2008.... - Emergence of enhanced attention to fearful faces between 5 and 7 months of ageMikko J Peltola
Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Finland
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 4:134-42. 2009..It is suggested that an enhanced sensitivity to facial signals of threat emerges between 5 and 7 months of age, and it may reflect functional development of the neural mechanisms involved in processing of emotionally significant stimuli... - Visuospatial attention shifts by gaze and arrow cues: an ERP studyJari K Hietanen
Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Finland
Brain Res 1215:123-36. 2008..These results provide further support for earlier behavioral and neuroimaging studies indicating that automatic orienting of attention by arrow cues and gaze cues are based on different neural mechanisms... - Fearful faces but not fearful eyes alone delay attention disengagement in 7-month-old infantsMikko J Peltola
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... - Facing a real person: an event-related potential studyLaura M Pönkänen
Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland
Neuroreport 19:497-501. 2008..The results indicate that a live face, as a potentially interacting stimulus, is processed differently than an inanimate face already at the early processing stages... - Fearful faces modulate looking duration and attention disengagement in 7-month-old infantsMikko J Peltola
