    At face value, we are interested in both perception and recognition. However, if you look deeper, our studies have focused specifically on recognition of facial expressions. We have studied the salience of expression recognition in adults. These studies included looking into gender effects such as, how the gender of the person expressing the emotion and interrupting it interacts. We are beginning to embark onto developmental aspects of recognizing expressions. These studies are to involve special populations of children. They will give us insight into how learning and social interaction early in life affects the ability to interrupt expressions.
