Dear face research list,
My name is Anita Montagna and I am a PhD student working at the Centre for the Developing Brain (King's College London) about late consequences of preterm birth.
I will study a sample of 4 and 8 years old children assessing executive function and emotional processing.
I would like to ask them to complete a task of emotion recognition of face expressions.
My group is using the Emotion Recognition task developed by Montagne ( Montagne, B., Kessels, R. P., De Haan, E. H., & Perrett, D. I. (2007). THE EMOTION RECOGNITION TASK: A PARADIGM TO MEASURE THE PERCEPTION OF FACIAL EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIONS AT DIFFERENT INTENSITIES 1. Perceptual and motor skills, 104(2), 589-598.).
I am looking for something similar but suitable for preschoolers, with children faces and possibly with different intensities of the emotions.
The task used in this paper - Georgia Chronakia*, Matthew Garnerc, Julie A. Hadwina, Margaret J. J. Thompsona, Cheryl Y. Chind & Edmund J. S. Sonuga-Barkeab*
Emotion-recognition abilities and behavior problem dimensions in preschoolers: Evidence for a specific role for childhood hyperactivity.
Child Neuropsychology - is similar to the DANVA task but uses adult female faces.
Do you know about any test using children morphed faces? Or about a database of stimuli using children morphed faces?
I am looking for happy, fear, angry (and sad) faces.
I thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Anita
Dear All,
There is currently a PhD scholarship (AUD$30,000 per annum for 3.5 years)
available for a student to work with me, Dr Ans Vercammen and Professor
Peter Rendell on a project examining the development and decline of social
cognition and emotion processing. The successful applicant would be based
in Sydney at the Australian Catholic University's Sydney (Strathfield)
campus. See project description below.
Could I please ask for your assistance in forwarding this email to anyone
who may be a suitable applicant, or who may know someone else who would be?
Potential applicants should contact me in the first instance at

*Project Title: *The Development and Decline of Social Cognition and
Emotion Processing
*Project Description:* This project will examine how the capacity to
recognise emotion in others, and the ability to use this information to
guide social behaviour develops in childhood and declines in older
adulthood. More specifically, this project will focus on investigating the
cognitive, neural and physiological mechanisms that underpin social
cognitive abilities and emotion processing. With a particular view to
understanding the way in which these capacities develop throughout
childhood and decline in older adulthood. The project will employ a range
of methodologies, including skin conductance responses (SCR), facial
electromyography (EMG) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
