Three- to 7-month-olds were administered a house version of the Face Dimensions Test in which the featural and configural information of the upper and lower windows were systematically varied. The Dimensions Test has previously been used to study the processing of face features and their configurations by infants (Quinn & Tanaka, 2009). Just as was the case with faces, infants were shown to be sensitive to configural change in the upper and lower regions and to featural change in the upper region, but not to featural change in the lower region. The outcomes reflect either a face processing system that can generalize broadly to stimuli that are as different from faces as houses or a more general processing system with perceptual operations that can apply to both faces and houses.
对3至7个月大的婴儿进行了“面部维度测试”的房屋版本测试,其中上下窗户的特征信息和结构信息被系统地改变。该维度测试此前已被用于研究婴儿对面部特征及其结构的处理(奎因和田中,2009年)。与面部情况一样,研究表明婴儿对上下区域的结构变化以及上部区域的特征变化敏感,但对下部区域的特征变化不敏感。这些结果反映了一种面部处理系统,该系统可以广泛推广到与面部差异很大的刺激物,如房屋,或者反映了一种更通用的处理系统,其感知操作可以应用于面部和房屋。
