Question: Do children raised in a communal environment differ from children in general in their ability to recognize emotional expression? A standard test of emotional expression

Do children raised in a communal environment differ from children in general in their ability to recognize emotional expression? A standard test of emotional expression shows a series of pictures of various facial expressions. In this series, the average child in the population in general can identify 14 with a standard deviation of 3. The developmental psychologist administered the picture test to a randomly selected child raised in a communal environment. The child was able to identify 16 expressions correctly. Based on this result, does being raised in a communal environment makes any difference in children's ability to recognize emotional expression? (Use the .01 level.)
