Abstract | Participants with Down syndrome (DS) were required to participate in a face recognition experiment to recognize familiar (DS faces) and unfamiliar emotional faces (non DS faces), by using an affective priming paradigm. Pairs of emotional facial stimuli were presented (one face after another) with a short Stimulus Onset Asynchrony of 300 milliseconds and Inter stimulus Interval ISI set up to 50 milliseconds. The goal was to test the hypothesis that recognition deficits on negative information reported by academic literature on this population does not apply to automatic emotional processing specially to meaningful negative information (familiar faces). Results showed that not all of the participants have a recognition deficit on negative stimuli and interestingly, positive familiar faces could not be primed by other valenced facial stimuli. However, positive familiar faces were recognized faster than neutral faces. Educational and clinical implications are discussed at the end of the paper. (Contains 2 figures.) (As Provided). |
