Emotion comprehension is the conscious knowledge of the proper and other people’s emotional trials. Aim of the study is to verify differences in the evolutionary path of emotion comprehension both in children with typical (TD) and atypical (AD) development. The Test of Emotion Comprehension has been administered to 65 subjects (14 AD), from 3 up to 11 years old. The results underline that AD children understand the emotions like TD children of six years old or less, except on the area of the Mixed Emotions where TD children and children AD have the same evolutionary path.
Keywords: Emotion; atypical development; emotional competence; emotion comprehension; emotion regulation.
