Categorical emotion recognition from voice improves during childhood and adolescence (2018)
Journal Article
Grosbras, M., Ross, P., & Belin, P. (2018). Categorical emotion recognition from voice improves during childhood and adolescence. Scientific Reports, 8(1), Article 14791. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-32868-3

Converging evidence demonstrates that emotion processing from facial expressions continues to improve throughout childhood and part of adolescence. Here we investigated whether this is also the case for emotions conveyed by non-linguistic vocal expre...
