Facial expression recognition (FER) is an important aspect of effective interpersonal communication. In order to explore whether the development of FER was delayed in hearing impaired children, 44 child participants completed labeling, and matching tasks to identify four basic emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, and fear). Twenty-two participants had either a cochlear implant (CI) or a hearing aid (HA) while 22 had normal hearing and participants were matched across conditions by age and gender. The results showed that children with a CI or HA were developmentally delayed not only in their emotion-labeling (verbal) tasks but also in their emotion-matching (nonverbal) tasks. For all participants, the emotion-labeling task was more difficult than the emotion-matching task. Additionally, the relative difficulty of recognizing four different emotional expressions was similar between verbal and nonverbal tasks.
面部表情识别（FER）是有效人际沟通的一个重要方面。为了探究听力受损儿童的面部表情识别能力发展是否延迟，44名儿童参与者完成了标签和匹配任务，以识别四种基本情绪（快乐、悲伤、愤怒和恐惧）。22名参与者佩戴了人工耳蜗（CI）或助听器（HA），另外22名听力正常，参与者在年龄和性别方面进行了跨条件匹配。结果表明，佩戴人工耳蜗或助听器的儿童不仅在情绪标签（语言）任务中发展延迟，在情绪匹配（非语言）任务中也发展延迟。对于所有参与者来说，情绪标签任务比情绪匹配任务更难。此外，在语言和非语言任务中，识别四种不同情绪表情的相对难度相似。
