成年人是识别面孔的专家，但关于这种能力随着年龄的增长的发展存在争议。我们使用本顿面部识别测试的数字化版本评估了6至12岁的成年人，这是评估面部感知能力的敏感工具。对于直立或倒置的面孔，儿童的正确反应时间的反应时间均未减少6至12岁之间的响应时间，但两种脸类型的面孔的反应时间都比成年人长得多。 6至12岁之间的准确性提高了，直立的脸比倒面的面孔要高得多。倒置的面部识别逐渐改善，直到儿童晚期，而6至8岁之间的直立脸识别却有很大的改善。随着12岁以后进一步增强。这些结果提供了进一步的证据，表明在儿童时期，处理过程中的脸部处理会持久发育，并且越来越多地调节直立的脸。 （c）2011 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Adults are experts at recognizing faces but there is controversy about how this ability develops with age. We assessed 6- to 12-year-olds and adults using a digitized version of the Benton Face Recognition Test, a sensitive tool for assessing face perception abilities. Children's response times for correct responses did not decrease between ages 6 and 12, for either upright or inverted faces, but were significantly longer than those of adults for both face types. Accuracy improved between ages 6 and 12, significantly more for upright than inverted faces. Inverted face recognition improved slowly until late childhood, whereas there was a large improvement in upright face recognition between ages 6 and 8. with a further enhancement after age 12. These results provide further evidence that during childhood face processing undergoes protracted development and becomes increasingly tuned to upright faces. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.
