虽然许多研究调查了儿童的面部表情的识别，很少有证据已经收集到关于他们的明确的知识，包括在这些表情的组成部分。因此，我们调查了儿童的知识的面部成分参与的表情的快乐，悲伤，愤怒和惊讶。研究人员让4 - 5岁的日本儿童看到一个年轻角色的空白面孔，并要求他们选择面部表情来描绘他的情感。儿童在任务中的整体表现随着年龄的增长而增加，并且在两个年龄组中的每种情绪都高于机会水平。孩子们可能会选择脸颊抬起和嘴唇角落拉来描绘幸福，内眉抬起，眉毛低垂，眼睑下垂来描绘悲伤，眉毛低垂和上眼睑抬起来描绘愤怒，上眼睑抬起和下巴下垂来描绘惊讶。此外，年龄较大的儿童表现出更好的知识的参与上眼睑提升惊讶的表情。
While numerous studies have investigated children’s recognition of facial emotional expressions, little evidence has been gathered concerning their explicit knowledge of the components included in such expressions. Thus, we investigated children’s knowledge of the facial components involved in the expressions of happiness, sadness, anger, and surprise. Four- and 5-year-old Japanese children were presented with the blank face of a young character, and asked to select facial components in order to depict the emotions he felt. Children’s overall performance in the task increased as a function of age, and was above chance level for each emotion in both age groups. Children were likely to select the Cheek raiser and Lip corner puller to depict happiness, the Inner brow raiser, Brow lowerer, and Lid droop to depict sadness, the Brow lowerer and Upper lid raiser to depict anger, and the Upper lid raiser and Jaw drop to depict surprise. Furthermore, older children demonstrated a better knowledge of the involvement of the Upper lid raiser in surprise expressions.
