Children's interpretations of lexical and vocal cues to speaker affect, independently and in combination, were examined in four studies. In Experiments 1 and 2, 7- to 11 -year-olds'judgments of lexical and paralinguistic cues were evaluated. In Experiment 3, these cues were combined to produce consistent and discrepant messages. The affective interpretations of 7- to 10-year-olds reflected a weighted-averaging strategy favoring the affect conveyed lexically. In Experiment 4, the developmental trajectory of children's interpretations of discrepancy from 4 to 10 years of age was investigated. Both 4- and 7-year-olds appeared to use a weighted-averaging strategy favoring lexical content, whereas 10-year-olds utilized a strategy favoring paralanguage.
在四项研究中，对儿童对说话者情感的词汇和声音线索的单独及综合理解进行了考察。在实验1和实验2中，评估了7至11岁儿童对词汇和副语言线索的判断。在实验3中，将这些线索结合起来以产生一致和不一致的信息。7至10岁儿童的情感理解反映了一种加权平均策略，该策略更倾向于词汇传达的情感。在实验4中，研究了4至10岁儿童对不一致信息理解的发展轨迹。4岁和7岁儿童似乎都使用了更倾向于词汇内容的加权平均策略，而10岁儿童则采用了更倾向于副语言的策略。
