Social competence, peer relationship quality, peer status
How do depression and anxiety relate to emotion recognition?

How does emotion recognition accuracy differ between modalities?

Extrastriate Body Area (EBA) responsible for?
BA responds to both bodies and body parts.
What is the Superior Temporal Sulcus (STS) involved in?
Biological motion perception.
What is the role of the subcortical pathway in emotion processing?
It enables fast evaluation of stimuli
What is the cortical pathway’s role in emotion processing?
It involves slow visual analysis
At what ages do infants and children develop the ability to recognize emotions in bodies?
By 3.5 months, infants can discriminate emotional bodies; by 5-6 years, children can recognize most emotions in bodies
What are the key acoustic cues in emotion recognition in voices?
Pitch (Hz), intensity (dB), and speech rate (syll/min)
