The hypothesis that physiognomic perception, rather than being an immature mode, characterizing, in particular, children, primitives, and schizophrenics, is, instead, a basic mode, was tested. Children of both Eastern and Western parentage in Grades 3, 5, 6, and 11 were given the Physiognomic Form Perception Test, an instrument specially developed for testing physiognimic perception. No decrease with age in such perception was noted. Although there was a tendency for scores to increase with age for girls of Eastern origin, in general the scores do not increase with age. Physiognomic perception is apparently not acquired. Sex differences were not significant.
有一种假设认为，面相感知并非一种不成熟的模式，尤其不是儿童、原始人和精神分裂症患者所特有的模式，而是一种基本模式，这一假设得到了验证。对三年级、五年级、六年级和十一年级的东西方混血儿童进行了面相形式感知测试，这是一种专门为测试面相感知而开发的工具。未发现这种感知随年龄增长而下降。虽然东方血统的女孩得分有随年龄增长的趋势，但总体而言，得分并不随年龄增长。面相感知显然不是后天习得的。性别差异不显著。
