Selective preference in visual fixation away from negative images in old age? An eye-tracking study

Article Abstract:

Eye tracking was used to record visual fixation in nearly real-time to investigate whether older individuals show a positivity effect in their visual attention to emotional information. Young and old individuals viewed pairs of synthetic faces that included the same face in a nonemotional expression and in 1 of 4 emotional expressions (happiness, sadness, anger or fear).

Age differences in recognition of emotions in lexical stimuli and facial expressions

Article Abstract:

The effect of age on emotion recognition from lexical stimuli and facial expressions are examined in a cross-sectional sample of adults aged 15-85. Results reveal that emotion-specific responses differ by age as older adults are disproportionately more likely than young adults to incorrectly label lexical stimuli and facial stimuli.
