Valentine（1991）提出，面孔是在多维的“面孔空间”中编码的。在这里，我们将这个框架应用到婴儿期的人脸处理的发展。认为面部被编码为面部空间中的“区域”，使得面部输入中的变化被识别为相同的面部身份。在一系列对4个月大、7个月大和成年人的研究中，我们解决了这些“身份区域”如何发展的问题。研究结果表明，它们最初是广泛的，并随着发展而变窄。我们的研究结果表明，面孔空间模型可以有效地应用于婴儿期的面孔加工。
Valentine ( 1991) proposed that faces are encoded in a multidimensional "facespace''. Here, we apply this framework to the development of face processing in infancy. It is thought that faces are encoded as "regions'' in the face-space, such that variations in the face input are recognized as the same face identity. In a set of studies with 4-month-olds, 7-month-olds, and adults, we addressed the question of how these "identity regions'' develop. The findings indicated that they are initially broad and become narrowed with development. Our results suggest that the face-space model can usefully be applied to face processing in infancy.
