Abstract

24 infants, 12 4-month-olds and 12 6-month-olds, were repeatedly shown slides of 3 facial expressions. The expressions were previously judged by obervers to be indicators of joy, anger, and no emotion, respectively. The duration of the first visual fixation to each presentation of the slides was monitored for each subject. The data indicated that the infants looked at the joy expression significantly more than at either the anger or neutral expressions. The results suggest that infants are capable of discriminating emotion expressions earlier in their development than previous studies have implied.

摘要

24名婴儿，其中12名4个月大，12名6个月大，被反复展示3种面部表情的幻灯片。这些表情先前被观察者分别判定为喜悦、愤怒和无情感的指标。对每个受试者每次展示幻灯片时首次视觉注视的持续时间进行了监测。数据表明，婴儿看喜悦表情的时间明显多于看愤怒表情或中性表情的时间。结果表明，婴儿在其发育过程中比以前的研究所暗示的能够更早地辨别情感表情。
