Behavioral results: hits, False Recognition (FR) for fearful and neutral faces in children (8–12 years) and adolescents (13–17 years). Error bars = mean square errors. Significant differences between fearful and neutral conditions are indicated as follows: ^*p < 0.05; ^**p < 0.01. Fearful faces were more accurately recognized than neutral faces in the adolescents group, but not in the children group. There were more false recognitions of fearful faces than neutral ones in the children group only.
