人类的注意力是有选择性的，专注于事件的某些方面，而牺牲其他方面。特别是，愤怒的面孔引起注意。大多数研究都使用了年轻面孔的照片，即使是在比较年轻和年长的年龄组时。两个实验问：（1）年轻人和老年人的快乐、愤怒和中性表情的任务无关面孔是否会破坏与面孔无关的任务的表现;（2）不同年龄和不同面部表情的面孔是否会产生干扰;（3）年轻人和老年人在这方面是否存在差异。当背景中出现不相关的面孔时，参与者在数字任务中做出了快速反应。两个年龄组的人都更容易被自己的面孔分心。此外，年轻的参与者对愤怒的表情的反应比快乐的表情慢，而年长的参与者对快乐的表情的反应比愤怒的表情慢。不同年龄的情绪面孔干扰的年龄组差异的因素进行了讨论。
Human attention is selective, focusing on some aspects of events at the expense of others. In particular, angry faces engage attention. Most studies have used pictures of young faces, even when comparing young and older age groups. Two experiments asked (1) whether task-irrelevant faces of young and older individuals with happy, angry, and neutral expressions disrupt performance on a face-unrelated task, (2) whether interference varies for faces of different ages and different facial expressions, and (3) whether young and older adults differ in this regard. Participants gave speeded responses on a number task while irrelevant faces appeared in the background. Both age groups were more distracted by own than other-age faces. In addition, young participants' responses were slower for angry than happy faces, whereas older participants' responses were slower for happy than angry faces. Factors underlying age-group differences in interference from emotional faces of different ages are discussed.
