People nowadays do not only display facial expressions in face to face communication but also in on-line communication using graphical symbols named emojis. The present study explored 30-month-old toddlers' ability to recognize emojis that represented six basic human emotions. In the study, 38 toddlers first saw scenarios that elicited different emotions in an actor and were asked to visually identify the matching emoji in the presence of a distractor. Eye-tracking results showed that toddlers could correctly identify the emoji that represented the emotion in each scenario. Toddlers then heard different emotion words and were again found to be able to identify the matching emoji. These findings provide preliminary evidence that the ability to recognize and understand the emotional value of emotion symbols in the virtual world emerges early in development.
如今，人们不仅在面对面交流中展示面部表情，还在使用名为表情符号的图形符号的在线交流中展示。本研究探索了 30 个月大的幼儿识别代表六种基本人类情绪的表情符号的能力。在研究中，38 名幼儿首先观看了在演员身上引发不同情绪的场景，并在有干扰物的情况下通过视觉识别匹配的表情符号。眼动追踪结果表明，幼儿可以正确识别每个场景中代表情绪的表情符号。然后，幼儿听到不同的情绪词，再次被发现能够识别匹配的表情符号。这些发现提供了初步证据，表明在虚拟世界中识别和理解情绪符号的情感价值的能力在发展早期就出现了。
