Infants completed each task at 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 months of age from 2016-2020. Multilevel growth models demonstrate that, over the first two years of life, infants became faster at detecting and spent more time engaging with angry over neutral faces. These results have implications for our understanding of the development of affect biased attention.
