对人工饲养的雄性长臂猿(Hylobates Agilis)进行了面孔识别能力的发展研究。我们使用了传统的和改进的翻头程序来测量婴儿对运动刺激的眼睛和头部跟踪。在实验1中，给婴儿呈现了面孔和非面孔的图画。他表现出了对脸部刺激的偏好。实验2a测试了婴儿对熟悉和陌生面孔照片的识别能力；到4周大时，婴儿更喜欢看熟悉的面孔，而不是陌生的面孔。实验2b调查了婴儿在获得对面孔的偏好方面的敏感性。婴儿对熟悉面孔的特征比对陌生面孔的特征更敏感。这些发现表明，人类和长臂猿早期的人脸识别能力可能有相似之处。(C)2001 Elsevier Science Inc.保留所有权利。
The development of the ability to recognize faces was studied in a nursery-reared male infant gibbon (Hylobates agilis). We used traditional and modified head-turning procedures that measured the infant's eye- and head- tracking of moving stimuli. In Experiment 1, the infant was presented with face-like and nonface-like drawings. He showed a preference for face-like stimuli. Experiment 2a tested the infant's recognition of photographs of familiar and unfamiliar faces; by 4 weeks of age, the infant preferred looking at a familiar human face to unfamiliar faces. Experiment 2b investigated the infant's sensitivity in acquiring a preference for faces. The infant was more sensitive to the characteristics of a familiar human face than to those of unfamiliar faces. These findings suggest that there may be similarities between the early face recognition ability of humans and gibbons. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
