为了确定幼儿是根据与情绪相关的基础还是基于与情绪无关的孤立特征来区分不同情绪的照片，17、23和29周的小组分别观看了8名摆出牙齿愤怒、非牙齿愤怒或无牙齿微笑表情的女性的幻灯片，然后向他们展示了两名新女性的熟悉表情和新颖的牙齿微笑表情。在所有3个年龄段，只有在习惯了无牙齿的面孔(无论是微笑还是愤怒)之后，才能恢复到新奇的有牙齿的笑脸，而不是习惯于有牙齿的愤怒的面孔，这表明婴儿对照片中的非特定特征(是否有裸牙)做出了反应，而不是对情感相关的特征配置做出了反应。在第二个实验中，两个年龄较大的年龄组(35周和41周)也被证明对静止面孔的情感释放方面不敏感，尽管愤怒的表情比快乐的表情更敏感。我们认为，婴幼儿S难以从静态刺激中提取情绪信息，可能是由于缺乏表征自然情绪表达的临界不变量(动态的、多模式指定的)。
To determine whether young infants discriminate photographs of difference emotions on an affect-relevant basis or on the basis of isolated features unrelated to emotion, groups of 17-, 23-, and 29-week-olds were habituated to slides of 8 women posing either Toothy Angry, Nontoothy Angry, or Nontoothy Smiling facial expressions and were then shown 2 new women in the familiarized expression and in a novel Toothy Smiling expression. At all 3 ages, recovery to the novel Toothy Smiling faces occurred only after habituation to Nontoothy faces (whether smiling or angry), not after habituation to Toothy Angry faces, indicating that infants had been responsive to nonspecific features of the photographs (presence or absence of bared teeth) rather than to affectively relevant configurations of features. In a second experiment 2 older age groups (35 and 41 weeks) also proved to be insensitive to affect-released aspects of still faces, though more so for angry than for happy expressions. It is suggested that the young infant''s difficulty in extracting emotional information from static stimuli may be attributable to the absence of the critical invariants (dynamic, multimodally specified) that characterize naturalistic expressions of emotion.
