一些患有唐氏综合症的儿童可能会在识别面部情绪（尤其是恐惧）方面遇到困难，但尚不清楚原因，也不清楚如何最好地促进这种技能。使用照片匹配任务，在四种条件下测试了唐氏综合症儿童、非特异性智力障碍儿童和认知匹配的典型发育儿童（所有组 N = 21）的情绪识别：真实情绪与夸张情绪以及情绪标签与通用任务指令。在所有组中，夸大情绪有利于识别的准确性和速度，而情绪标签则有利于识别的准确性。唐氏综合症儿童的总体准确度和速度没有差异，尽管对恐惧的识别能力比正常发育的儿童差，并且与情绪标签的使用无关。考虑干预措施的影响。
Some children with Down syndrome may experience difficulties in recognizing facial emotions, particularly fear, but it is not clear why, nor how such skills can best be facilitated. Using a photo-matching task, emotion recognition was tested in children with Down syndrome, children with nonspecific intellectual disability and cognitively matched, typically developing children (all groups N = 21) under four conditions: veridical vs. exaggerated emotions and emotion-labelling vs. generic task instructions. In all groups, exaggerating emotions facilitated recognition accuracy and speed, with emotion labelling facilitating recognition accuracy. Overall accuracy and speed did not differ in the children with Down syndrome, although recognition of fear was poorer than in the typically developing children and unrelated to emotion label use. Implications for interventions are considered.
