为了研究年龄相关的面部特征变化对儿童年龄判断的影响，进行了两个实验，其中颅面形状和面部轮廓被独立地操纵在刺激面孔中作为年龄信息的来源。采用配对比较任务，要求2岁半至6岁的儿童对刺激面孔进行年龄分类和相对年龄判断。学龄前儿童能够使用颅面轮廓形状，正面特征垂直位置或面部轮廓的变化来识别刺激人的年龄类别。儿童也能够识别较大的，但不是年轻的，两张脸的基础上，面部轮廓，一个发现与以前证明的局限性，在幼儿的使用相对年龄的条款。结果进行了讨论的背景下，研究揭示了平行的影响，颅面形状和面部轮廓的年龄判断的成年人。
To examine the impact of age-related variations in facial characteristics on children''s age judgments, two experiments were conducted in which craniofacial shape and facial wrinkling were independently manipulated in stimulus faces as sources of age information. Using a paired-comparisons task, children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 6 were asked to make age category as well as relative age judgments of stimulus faces. Preschool-aged children were able to use variations in craniofacial profile shape, frontal face feature vertical placement, or facial wrinkling to identify the age category of a stimulus person. Children were also able to identify the older, but not the younger, of two faces on the basis of facial wrinkling, a finding consistent with previously demonstrated limitations in young children''s use of relative age terms. The results were discussed in the context of research which reveal parallel effects of craniofacial shape and wrinkling on the age judgments of adults.
