Emotions are often conveyed via visual and together with the auditory mode in social interaction. We aimed to investigate the ability to recognize facial and/or auditory emotions in school-aged children with cochlear implantation and healthy controls.
All participants were asked to respond to facial emotions of Ekman and Friesen's pictures, then auditory emotions, and last, they were asked to respond to video-based dynamic synchronous facial and auditory emotions.
The mean accuracy rates in recognizing anger (p = 0.025), surprise (p = 0.029), and neutral (p = 0.029) faces were significantly worse in children with cochlear implants (CIs) than in healthy controls. They were significantly worse than healthy controls in recognizing all auditory emotions except auditory emotion of fear (p = 0.067). The mean accuracy rates in recognizing video-based auditory/facial emotions of surprise (p = 0.031) and neutral (p = 0.029) emotions were significantly worse in children with CIs.
The children with hearing loss were poorer in recognizing surprise, anger, and neutral facial emotions than healthy children; they had similar performance in recognizing anger emotions when both stimuli were given synchronously which may have a positive effect on social behaviors. It seems beneficial that emotion recognition training should be included in rehabilitation programs.
在社交互动中，情绪通常通过视觉以及与听觉模式共同传递。我们旨在研究人工耳蜗植入学龄儿童和健康对照者识别面部和/或听觉情绪的能力。
所有参与者被要求对面部表情图片（埃克曼和弗里森的图片）做出反应，然后是听觉情绪，最后，他们被要求对基于视频的动态同步面部和听觉情绪做出反应。
人工耳蜗植入儿童识别愤怒（p = 0.025）、惊讶（p = 0.029）和中性（p = 0.029）面部表情的平均准确率显著低于健康对照者。除恐惧的听觉情绪外（p = 0.067），他们识别所有听觉情绪的能力均显著低于健康对照者。人工耳蜗植入儿童识别基于视频的惊讶（p = 0.031）和中性（p = 0.029）情绪的听觉/面部表情的平均准确率显著更低。
听力损失儿童识别惊讶、愤怒和中性面部情绪的能力比健康儿童差；当两种刺激同时呈现时，他们在识别愤怒情绪方面表现相似，这可能对社交行为有积极影响。在康复计划中纳入情绪识别训练似乎是有益的。
