The present study sought to test the global-identity and local-emotion processing hypothesis in face perception by examining emotional interference in face perception in children with high-functioning autism/Asperger's syndrome. Participants judged either the expression or the identity of faces while identity/expression was either held constant or varied (Garner paradigm). The results revealed that emotional expressions interfered with identity processing in face perception for autism spectrum disorder individuals. Taken together with previous findings, our results suggest that emotion judgment mainly depends on local processing, while identity judgment mainly depends on global processing.
本研究旨在通过考察高功能自闭症/阿斯伯格综合征儿童对面部知觉的全球身份和局部情感加工假设，检验面部知觉中的情感干扰。参与者在身份/表情保持不变或变化（加内尔范式）的情况下判断面部表情或身份。结果表明，情绪表达对面部知觉中的身份加工有干扰。结合以前的研究结果，我们的研究结果表明，情绪判断主要依赖于局部加工，而身份判断主要依赖于整体加工。
