Fernando Ferreira-Santos
(http://ferreira-santos.eu) holds a PhD in
Psychology (2013, University of Porto/University
College London) and is Assistant Professor at
the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences
of the University of Porto. He works in the
fields of Affective and Social Neurosciences.
His research interests are predictive processing
approaches to the perception of emotion across
development and the influence of emotion on
social cognition (moral judgment and social
decision-making), with a focus on
electroencephalography (EEG) measures of brain
activity. He is an elected member of the board
of the European Society for Cognitive and
Affective Neuroscience (ESCAN) and serves as
Associate Editor for the journal Psicologia:

Review.
Understanding
facial expressions of emotion across
development: Novel approaches and clinical
implications ABSTRACT INVITED SIMPOSIUM Facial expressions of emotion
(FEE) are important social stimuli that are
crucial for healthy development, as highlighted
by research on normal and abnormal development.
However, debates on the nature of emotional
processes and on the neural architecture
underlying these abilities have raised novel
questions for developmental science. In the
present symposium, we will address this issue
theoretically, by discussing links between
developmental and predictive processing
approaches (talk 1), and empirically, by
presenting novel results on the role of
affective properties (valence/arousal) in the
processing of FEE in the developing brain.
Specifically, we will describe the effects of
valence, arousal, and emotional category of FEE
on event-related potentials (ERP) precursors of
the adult N170 component in young (talk 2) and
school-aged children (talk 3) as well as
adolescents (talk 4). We will further present
preliminary validation data for a new set of
photographic facial expression stimuli (talk 5)
highlighting clinical applications.
