We present an investigation of facial expression recognition by three people (BC, LP, and NC) with Mobius syndrome, a congenital disorder producing facial paralysis. The participants were asked to identify the emotion displayed in 10 examples of facial expressions associated with each of 6 basic emotions from the Ekman and Friesen (1976) series. None of the three people with Mobius syndrome was significantly impaired on this task. On a second test of facial expression recognition using computer-morphed facial expressions, NC showed a statistically significant impairment, BC a borderline deficit, and LP was unimpaired. However, even when impairments were found, people with Mobius syndrome still recognised many of the facial expressions shown to them. The recognition of facial expressions by people who have never been able to produce such signals on their own faces demonstrates that the ability to produce facial expressions is not a necessary prerequisite of their recognition.
我们对 3 位患有先天性面瘫的莫比乌斯综合征患者（BC、LP 和 NC）进行了面部表情识别研究。参与者被要求识别 10 个与 6 种基本情绪相关的面部表情示例中所展示的情绪，这些示例来自 Ekman 和 Friesen（1976）系列。在这项任务中，没有一位莫比乌斯综合征患者表现出明显的障碍。在使用计算机合成面部表情的第二项面部表情识别测试中，NC 表现出统计学上显著的障碍，BC 表现出边缘缺陷，LP 则未受影响。然而，即使发现了障碍，患有莫比乌斯综合征的人仍然能够识别他们所看到的许多面部表情。那些从未在自己脸上产生过这些信号的人对面部表情的识别表明，产生面部表情的能力不是识别面部表情的必要前提。
