Perceptual Study of Emotions: A Comparative Analysis on Audio-Visual Signal of Tamil Children

The significance of language is recognizing the emotion is vital. Perceptual studies can reduce the significance of language in understanding the emotions in children. The findings of a perceptual experiment conducted by Russian and Indian specialists to identify Indian children's emotional states through audio and video modalities are presented in this paper. Among various emotions, the children's expressions of joy, neutrality (calm state), sadness, and anger were captured on video and audio. The children were asked to portray these states through their facial expressions and voice pronunciation of words and phrases. The study methodology is explained, and the audio and video clips that specialists from Russia and India accurately identified are examined. It came to light that by observing Indian children's facial expressions, voices, and speech, specialists from Russia and India could identify the primary emotions of “joy, sadness, and anger” as well as their neutral condition. Both cultures have universal and distinctive traits that enable them to identify the emotions of their offspring. The paper describes limitations and depicts future research.
