“…The inclusion of an explicit discrimination task is common practice in the neuroimaging literature in relation to facial emotion processing (Adolphs et al 2001;Ambadar et al 2005;Johnston et al 2008;Krolak-Salmon et al 2001;Lahaie et al 2006;Miyahara et al 2007;Pourtois et al 2004;Schultz and Pilz 2009), since it is important to ensure that the participants remain focussed on the stimuli, and that attentional resources are similarly allocated across active and baseline conditions. However, it is entirely plausible that explicit facial emotion discrimination tasks do not invoke the recruitment of an identical set of structures to those excited by the spontaneous appearance of emotional face stimuli in the visual field in the absence of explicit task demands.…”

“…Luminance levels were consistent between the tasks. Consistent with previous research, to assess the neural regions associated with emotion face processing an active discrimination task was employed (Adolphs et al 2001;Ambadar et al 2005;Johnston et al 2008;Krolak-Salmon et al 2001;Lahaie et al 2006;Miyahara et al 2007;Pourtois et al 2004;Schultz and Pilz 2009). The neural regions associated with gender face discrimination task were compared to the emotion face discrimination task.…”

While the neural regions associated with facial identity recognition are considered to be well defined, the neural correlates of non-moving and moving images of facial emotion processing are less clear. This study examined the brain electrical activity changes in 26 participants (14 males M = 21.64, SD = 3.99; 12 females M = 24.42, SD = 4.36), during a passive face viewing task, a scrambled face task and separate emotion and gender face discrimination tasks. The steady state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) was recorded from 64-electrode sites. Consistent with previous research, face related activity was evidenced at scalp regions over the parieto-temporal region approximately 170 ms after stimulus presentation. Results also identified different SSVEP spatio-temporal changes associated with the processing of static and dynamic facial emotions with respect to gender, with static stimuli predominately associated with an increase in inhibitory processing within the frontal region. Dynamic facial emotions were associated with changes in SSVEP response within the temporal region, which are proposed to index inhibitory processing. It is suggested that static images represent non-canonical stimuli which are processed via different mechanisms to their more ecologically valid dynamic counterparts.

“…Moreover, training studies have suggested that children with autism show greater improvements in emotion recognition when programs include cartoons rather than photographs of real faces (Silver and Oakes 2001). Note that clinical and parental reports also state that children with ASD spend long periods of time looking at cartoons (Miyahara et al 2007). Parents and professionals often report that ''autistic children know more about cartoons than about people'' or that they even ''knew all the names of Pokemon and Digimon, but they did not know my name (experimenter's name) after three days'' (Grelotti's personnal interview, Yaledailynews.com, 2005).…”

This study evaluated whether atypical face processing in autism extends from human to cartoon faces for which they show a greater interest. Twenty children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) were compared to two groups of typically developing children, matched on chronological and mental age. They processed the emotional expressions of real faces, human cartoon and nonhuman cartoon faces. Children with ASD were as capable as controls in processing emotional expressions, but strategies differed according to the type of face. Controls relied on a configural strategy with all faces. By contrast, ASD children exploited this typical configural strategy with cartoons but used a local strategy with real faces. This atypical visual processing style is discussed in the context of face expertise.

“…Moreover, individuals with ASD show more attention on cartoon characters [33], they spend longer periods of time looking at cartoons [34] and have higher interest in cartoon faces [35]. In addition, children with ASD show greater improvements in emotion recognition when programs include cartoons rather than photographs of real faces [36].…”

The interactive software "Feeling Master" (a Cartoon Facial Recognition Tool) was developed to investigate the deficit in facial emotion recognition (FER) with a sample of patients with schizophrenia in a pilot project framework. 24 persons with schizophrenia and 17 healthy control (HC) subjects completed the "Feeling Master" including five emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, fear and surprise). Regarding the group with schizophrenia they were evaluated with the Personal and Situational Attribution Questionnaire (IPSAQ) and the Hinting Task (Theory of Mind) to evaluate social cognition. Descriptive data showed suitable usability, adaptability, effectiveness and efficiency of "feeling master".Patients with schizophrenia showed impairments in emotion recognition. The individuals with schizophrenia remained slower than the HC in the recognition of each emotion. Regarding the impairment in the recognition of each emotion we only have found significant error rates on fear discrimination (P=.07). And the correlations between correct response on the "Feeling Master" and the Hinting Task showed significant values in the correlation of surprise and Theory of Mind (P=.46). In conclusion, the study puts forward the usability of the "feeling master" in FER for people with schizophrenia. These findings lend support to the notion that difficulties in emotion recognition are more prevalent in people with schizophrenia, and those are associated with an imparment in ToM, suggesting the potential utility of the FER in the rehabilitation of people with schizophrenia.
