我们使用眼动追踪检查4.5至12.5个月大的婴儿(N = 92)的眼球运动在3秒介绍直立和倒置的脸。在4.5个月、6.5个月、8个月和12.5个月大的婴儿中,对倒置面孔的扫描在统计学上是无法区分的;在这些年龄段的婴儿中,婴儿不成比例地扫描了包含眼睛的区域。在这个年龄段,对直立面孔的扫描发生了变化。当观察直立的面孔时,4.5个月大和6.5个月大的婴儿不成比例地集中在包含眼睛的区域,而12.5个月大和8个月大的婴儿则分布得更广泛,扫描更多的面部内部区域。这些结果与其他观察到的面部处理的发展差异是一致的,并提供洞察如何时刻到时刻的面部处理在婴儿期的变化。
We used eye tracking to examine 4.5- to 12.5-month-old infants (N = 92) eye movements during 3-s presentations of upright and inverted faces. Scanning of inverted faces was statistically indistinguishable at 4.5, 6.5, 8, and 12.5 months of age; at each of these ages, infants disproportionately scanned the region containing the eyes. Scanning of upright faces changed over this age range. When viewing upright faces, 4.5-month-old and 6.5-month-old infants focused disproportionately on the region containing the eyes, whereas 12.5-month-old and 8-month-old infants distributed looking more broadly, scanning more of the internal area of the faces. These results are consistent with other observed developmental differences in face processing and provide insight into how moment-to-moment face processing changes during infancy.
