Holistic face processing was investigated in newborns, 3-month-old infants, and adults through a modified version of the composite face paradigm and the recording of eye movements. After familiarization to the top portion of a face, participants (N = 70) were shown 2 aligned or misaligned faces, 1 of which comprised the familiar top part. In the aligned condition, no visual preference was found at any group age. In the misaligned condition, 3-month-olds preferred the face stimulus with the familiar top part, adults preferred the face stimulus with the novel one, and newborns did not manifest any visual preference. Results revealed that both infants' and adults' eye movements may be affected by holistic face information and demonstrated holistic face processing in 3-month-olds.
采用改进的复合面孔范式和眼动记录技术，研究了新生儿、3 个月大婴儿和成年人的整体面孔加工。在熟悉面孔的上半部分后，参与者（N=70）观看了 2 张对齐或不对齐的面孔，其中 1 张包含熟悉的上半部分。在对齐条件下，任何年龄组都没有表现出明显的视觉偏好。在不对齐条件下，3 个月大的婴儿更喜欢带有熟悉上半部分的面孔刺激，成年人更喜欢带有新颖上半部分的面孔刺激，而新生儿则没有表现出任何视觉偏好。结果表明，婴儿和成年人的眼动都可能受到整体面孔信息的影响，并在 3 个月大的婴儿中表现出整体面孔加工。
