In two studies, photographs of facial expressions of normal and Down's syndrome infants were viewed by mothers who recognized discrete emotions and reported regularities in caregiving associated with these emotions. Stimulating interactions were reported more frequently for high intensity expressions than for low intensity expressions. While these regularities held for both groups of infants, high intensity expressions were less frequent in the Down's group. The biological mothers of Down's infants seemingly compensated by reporting more stimulating interventions in response to their infants' low intensity expressions. Mothers who were unfamiliar with both groups of infants did not evidence this compensatory adjustment.
在两项研究中，正常婴儿和唐氏综合征婴儿面部表情的照片由母亲们观看，这些母亲能够识别不同的情绪，并报告与这些情绪相关的护理规律。与低强度表情相比，高强度表情引发的互动被报告得更频繁。虽然这些规律在两组婴儿中都成立，但高强度表情在唐氏综合征组中出现的频率较低。唐氏综合征婴儿的亲生母亲似乎通过报告对婴儿低强度表情做出更多刺激性干预来进行补偿。对两组婴儿都不熟悉的母亲没有表现出这种补偿性调整。
