在18至85岁（N = 357）的成年人的横断面样本中，研究了词汇刺激和面部表情的情绪识别的年龄差异。注意力特异性反应偏差因年龄而异：老年人不成比例地更容易将词汇刺激错误地标记为快乐，悲伤和惊讶，并将面部刺激错误地标记为厌恶和恐惧。在这些偏见得到控制后，研究结果表明，老年人在识别情绪方面不如年轻人准确，但这种模式在情绪和任务类型上有所不同。词汇任务表现出更强的年龄差异比面部任务，词汇刺激，年龄组不同的准确性，除了恐惧的所有情绪状态。相比之下，对于面部刺激，年龄组的差异仅在于愤怒，厌恶，恐惧和幸福的准确性。不同类型的情绪处理与年龄相关的变化的影响进行了讨论。
Age differences in emotion recognition from lexical stimuli and facial expressions were examined in a cross-sectional sample of adults aged 18 to 85 (N = 357). Emotion-specific response biases differed by age: Older adults were disproportionately more likely to incorrectly label lexical stimuli as happiness, sadness, and surprise and to incorrectly label facial stimuli as disgust and fear. After these biases were controlled, findings suggested that older adults were less accurate at identifying emotions than were young adults, but the pattern differed across emotions and task types. The lexical task showed stronger age differences than the facial task, and for lexical stimuli, age groups differed in accuracy for all emotional states except fear. For facial stimuli, in contrast, age groups differed only in accuracy for anger, disgust, fear, and happiness. Implications for age-related changes in different types of emotional processing are discussed.
