在躲猫猫游戏的情境下，研究了婴儿对他人情感表达的反应性。40个4个月大的孩子参加了一个躲猫猫游戏，在这个游戏中，典型的快乐/惊讶的表情被系统地替换为不同的情绪，这取决于小组分配。婴儿观看三个典型的躲猫猫试验，然后是变化（愤怒，恐惧或悲伤）或无变化（快乐/惊喜）试验，重复两个街区。测量婴儿的注视时间和情感反应。结果显示，不同的模式的视觉注意力和情感反应，每种情绪。这些结果强调了上下文信息的重要性，以促进识别的情绪表达，以及使用收敛的措施来评估这种理解的有效性。4个月大的婴儿似乎就能区分他人的情绪表达，并以有意义的方式做出反应。
Infants' responsiveness to others' affective expressions was investigated in the context of a peekaboo game. Forty 4-month-olds participated in a peekaboo game in which the typical happy/surprised expression was systematically replaced with a different emotion, depending on group assignment. Infants viewed three typical peekaboo trials followed by a change (anger, fear, or sadness) or no-change (happiness/surprise) trial, repeated over two blocks. Infants' looking time and affective responsiveness were measured. Results revealed differential patterns of visual attention and affective responsiveness to each emotion. These results underscore the importance of contextual information for facilitating recognition of emotion expressions as well as the efficacy of using converging measures to assess such understanding. Infants as young as 4 months appear to discriminate and respond in meaningful ways to others' emotion expressions.
