A Common Neural Code for Perceived and Inferred Emotion by Skerry, Amy E., Saxe, Rebecca R.

“…How does the human brain make use of these diverse forms of evidence to generate a common representation of a target's emotional state? In the present research, we identify neural patterns that correspond to emotions inferred from contextual information and find that these patterns generalize across different cues from which an emotion can be attributed. …”

Age-related differences in emotional reactivity, regulation, and rejection sensitivity in adolescence by Silvers, Jennifer A., McRae, Kateri, Gross, James J., Remy, Katherine A., Ochsner, Kevin N., Gabrieli, John D. E.

“…Although adolescents’ emotional lives are thought to be more turbulent than those of adults, it is unknown whether this difference is attributable to developmental changes in emotional reactivity or emotion regulation. …”

Inferring Beliefs and Desires From Emotional Reactions to Anticipated and Observed Events by Wu, Yang, Schulz, Laura E

“…Researchers have long been interested in the relation between emotion understanding and theory of mind. This study investigates a cue to mental states that has rarely been investigated: the dynamics of valenced emotional expressions. …”

One- to four-year-olds connect diverse positive emotional vocalizations to their probable causes by Muentener, Paul, Schulz, Laura E, Wu, Yang

“…The ability to understand why others feel the way they do is critical to human relationships. Here, we show that emotion understanding in early childhood is more sophisticated than previously believed, extending well beyond the ability to distinguish basic emotions or draw different inferences from positively and negatively valenced emotions. …”
