Why is it important?
This study helps us better understand the driving factors of early childhood development, such as initial sensitivity, environmental experience, and perceptual salience, from a new angle - affect perception.
Perspectives
Further studies should look closely at these factors, aiming to provide a comprehensive trajectory of infant affect development and how such development can be facilitated.
