“…Many face processing skills emerge during early infancy, including differentiation of some emotional expressions (Barrera & Maurer, 1981;Young-Browne, Rosenfeld, & Horowitz, 1977); discrimination of the direction of eye gaze (Hains & Muir, 1996;Hood, Willen, & Driver, 1998;Vecera & Johnson, 1995); formation of a mental prototype of a group of faces (de Haan, Johnson, Maurer, & Perrett, 2001); and recognition of a personÕs face posing with different head orientations (Pascalis, de Haan, Nelson, & de Schonen, 1998). Nevertheless, schoolaged children are not as proficient as adults at processing faces, particularly in recognizing facial identity.…”
