Emotional understanding plays an important role in the physical and mental health of children. To determine whether the development of emotional understanding is delayed in children with a cochlear implant (CI), 30 children with a CI and 30 matched children with typical hearing aged between 3 and 9 years old completed three tasks (facial expression, tone expression and scene of emotion matching), in which they identified four basic emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, and fear). The participants included 40 preschool children and 20 school-aged children. Compared with the children with typical hearing, the children with a CI were significantly delayed in the ability to understand emotion; the tone expression matching task was the most difficult task for all participants; and the school-aged children performed better than the preschool children, but this trend was only observed in the typical hearing group; and happiness was the easiest emotion to identify.
情绪理解对儿童的身心健康起着重要作用。为了确定人工耳蜗植入（CI）儿童的情绪理解发展是否延迟，30名人工耳蜗植入儿童和30名年龄在3至9岁的听力正常匹配儿童完成了三项任务（面部表情、语调表情和情绪场景匹配），在这些任务中他们识别四种基本情绪（快乐、悲伤、愤怒和恐惧）。参与者包括40名学龄前儿童和20名学龄儿童。与听力正常的儿童相比，人工耳蜗植入儿童在情绪理解能力上明显延迟；语调表情匹配任务对所有参与者来说是最难的任务；学龄儿童比学龄前儿童表现更好，但这种趋势只在听力正常组中观察到；快乐是最容易识别的情绪。
