“…The face represents a unique, highly salient, and biological significant visual stimulus, that conveys not only information about the identity of a person, such as gender or age, but also a variety of social information, such as emotional expression or gaze direction (Calder & Young, ; Ellamil, Susskind, & Anderson, ). All this information is presented simultaneously, and each one of them can interact in the extraction of other information (e.g., Baudouin, Durand, & Gallay, ).…”

This study investigates the role of dynamic information in identity face recognition at birth. More specifically we tested whether semi-rigid motion, conveyed by a change in facial expression, facilitates identity recognition. In Experiment 1, two-day-old newborns, habituated to a static happy or fearful face (static condition) have been tested using a pair of novel and familiar identity static faces with a neutral expression. Results indicated that newborns manifest a preference for the familiar stimulus, independently of the facial expression. In contrast, in Experiment 2 newborns habituated to a semi-rigid moving face (dynamic condition) manifest a preference for the novel face, independently of the facial expression. In Experiment 3, a multistatic image of a happy face with different degrees of intensity was utilized to test the role of different amount of static pictorial information in identity recognition (multistatic image condition). Results indicated that newborns were not able to recognize the face to which they have been familiarized. Overall, results clearly demonstrate that newborns' face recognition is strictly dependent on the learning conditions and that the semirigid motion conveyed by facial expressions facilitates identity recognition since birth.The face represents a unique, highly salient, and biological significant visual stimulus, that conveys not only information about the identity of a person, such as gender or age, but also a variety of social information, such as emotional expression or gaze Correspondence should be sent to Irene Leo,

“…Only recently research has explored how the face processing system deals with the concurrent presentation of the multiple dimensions of a face and whether the different kinds of information inherent in a face are processed one independently from the other or rather in mutual interaction. Within this vein, some studies on adults (Bate, Haslam, & Hodgson, 2009; Campbell & Burke, 2009) and children (Baudouin, Durand, & Gallay, 2008; Spangler, Schwarzer, Korell, & Maier‐Karius, 2010) have investigated whether a link could be established between the ability to recognize the identity of an individual face and the processing of a facial emotion expression. The present study was aimed at addressing this issue in 3‐month‐old infants.…”

Recent studies demonstrated that in adults and children recognition of face identity and facial expression mutually interact (Bate, Haslam, & Hodgson, 2009; Spangler, Schwarzer, Korell, & Maier‐Karius, 2010). Here, using a familiarization paradigm, we explored the relation between these processes in early infancy, investigating whether 3‐month‐old infants’ ability to recognize an individual face is affected by the positive (happiness) or neutral emotional expression displayed. Results indicated that infants’ face recognition appears enhanced when faces display a happy emotional expression, suggesting the presence of a mutual interaction between face identity and emotion recognition as early as 3 months of age.

“…Second, previous studies have reported that, with age, children increase the ability to selectively attend to facial identity and disregard variation in emotional expression (e.g. Baudouin, Durand, & Gallay, ; Mondloch, Grand, & Maurer, ). Thus, the emotional interference in the ASD group implies that the development of brain system involved in selective processing in face recognition may be impaired in ASD.…”

Selective Attention to Facial Emotion and Identity in Children With Autism: Evidence for Global Identity and Local Emotion

The present study sought to test the global-identity and local-emotion processing hypothesis in face perception by examining emotional interference in face perception in children with high-functioning autism/Asperger's syndrome. Participants judged either the expression or the identity of faces while identity/expression was either held constant or varied (Garner paradigm). The results revealed that emotional expressions interfered with identity processing in face perception for autism spectrum disorder individuals. Taken together with previous findings, our results suggest that emotion judgment mainly depends on local processing, while identity judgment mainly depends on global processing.
