TL;DR: Odom et al. as mentioned in this paper found that older children made more correct discriminations and productions than younger children, but contrary to expectations, the difference between discrimination and production increased with age.
Abstract: ODOM, RICHARD D., and LEMOND, CAROLYN M. Developmental Differences in the Perception and Production of Facial Expressions. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1972, 43, 359-369. The present study was designed to determine if a developmental lag exists between the perception and production of facial expressions. Each of 32 kindergarten and 32 fifth-grade children participated in 1 of 2 types of discrimination task and 1 of 2 types of production task. The results indicated that both age groups correctly discriminated more of the 8 assessed expressions than they produced. The older children made more correct discriminations and productions than the younger children, but contrary to expectations, the difference between discrimination and production increased with age. The implications of the results for perceptual learning and socialization were discussed.

TL;DR: This article found that both 4 and 7-year-old children readily reformulated their initial messages when explicitly requested to do so by the listener, and both failed to reformulate when confronted only with nonverbal, facial expressions of listener noncomprehension.
Abstract: PETERSON, CAROLE L.; DANNER, FRED W.; and FLAVELL, JOHN H. Developmental Changes in Children's Response to Three Indications of Communicative Failure. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1972, 43, 1463-1468. Both 4and 7-year-old children readily reformulated their initial messages when explicitly requested to do so by the listener, and both failed to reformulate when confronted only with nonverbal, facial expressions of listener noncomprehension. In contrast, only the 7-year-olds tended to reformulate their messages in response to an implicit rather than explicit verbal request for additional help: for example, "I don't understand." There was evidence that the 4-yearolds did interpret the latter type of feedback as a request for help but did not understand what kind of help was needed.

TL;DR: The present findings support the hypothesis of a duel control of the face and voice in man whereby there still exists prominently the emotional or affective element which mediates all involuntary or spontaneously emotive expressions of feeling.
Abstract: Prefrontal or anterior temporal but not cingulate cortex lesions lead to major deficits in all aspects of social behavior including maternal protectiveness, aggressiveness, group cohesiveness, defense of territory, maintenance of hierarchical status, and, even, sexual behavior. Lesions of visual association cortex, on the other hand, fail to produce such deficits. Rather, these deficits appear to be spedfically emotional in nature and not related to impairments in perceptual or sensory functions. Prefrontal and anterior temporal cortical lesions also produce major losses in both facial expressions and in vocalizations suggesting these functions in the rhesus monkey participate primarily in emotional and socia1 communications. In keeping with this interpretation, present studies show a major difficulty in bringing rhesus monkey vocalizations under instrumental or conditioned control. Thus, in this species, there exists a major difficulty of access between the volitional control mechanisms of the cortex and the vocalization apparatus. The present findings support the hypothesis of a duel control of the face and voice in man whereby there still exists prominently the emotional or affective element which mediates all involuntary or spontaneously emotive expressions of feeling. This more primitive and aged mechanism for face and voice control utilizes quite different neural control mechanisms than does the more recently derived system which provides for a volitional face and voice control. This more recent system has developed embedded wlithin the posteriorly located analytic and mnemonic cortical tissues and provides for communications between individuals within the species at symbolic, verbal levels.

TL;DR: The behavioral repertoire of 18 captive, groupliving, talapoin monkeys is described, and postures, body gestures, and noises provide their most important signals.

TL;DR: In lower forms of life, nonverbal expressions are often vital to the survival of the species as discussed by the authors and these signals constitute a powerful silent language that is often as effective and direct as speech itself.
Abstract: In lower forms of life, nonverbal expressions are often vital to the survival of the species. Even in absolute silence, animals are able to communicate with each other by an almost infinite variety of gestures and emotions. Man, of course, has the gift of speech. Yet he, too, is able to signal his moods and thoughts with a nonverbal vocabulary of gestures and expressions. These signals constitute a powerful silent language that is often as effective and direct as speech itself. Among the numerous nonverbal media of communication, the human face is the most complex and the most capable of expressing an extraordinary range of emotions. Facial expressions communicate the most personal of all types of information, primarily due to the visibility of the face and the regularity with which the human body makes its most intimate self-disclosures.
