Outline of Final Research Achievements

(1) We developed an adult expression recognition test using morphed stimuli in a paper-based format. This test can be administered to large groups. (2) An adult expression recognition test and a child expression recognition test were administered to undergraduate students. The results showed a positive relationship between these two tests. (3) An adult expression recognition test was administered to undergraduate students and school-aged children. The results showed that difficulty parameters in expressions of sadness and surprise were different from each age range. (4) We developed a computerized expression recognition test that was superior to a paper-based test in visibility and usability.
