Fig. 7. Children with a higher rank were more capable of processing dominant faces.

a Experimental procedure and stimuli of the ERP study. EEG recordings were acquired from preschool children while they watched photographs of the faces of their peers (with representative images for dominant, neutral, and subordinate facial expressions). The photograph of the child is used with the consent of the parents. b Grand-mean ERP difference waveforms of FN400 in the FCz channel in response to dominant and subordinate faces in 1st- and 4th-rank children (n = 12 pairs). c The difference wave amplitudes of FN400 in response to dominant and subordinate faces in 1st- and 4th-rank children (two-way ANOVA, n = 12 pairs). Note. The FN400 amplitudes of each facial expression were corrected by subtracting the averaged amplitude of the neutral facial condition. Error bars = SEM.
