我们研究了面部年龄和面部表达的情绪如何影响年轻人 (n = 30) 和老年人 (n = 20) 在观看面部和判断其表情时的视觉检查。总体而言，年轻人的表情识别效果比年长的面孔更好，这表明即使对于年长的参与者来说，解读年轻面孔的表情也比年长的面孔更容易。此外，表情错误归因存在年龄组差异，年轻参与者更有可能将厌恶的面孔标记为愤怒，而老年人更有可能将愤怒的面孔标记为厌恶。除了面部表情的影响外，面部年龄还影响面部的视觉检查：年轻和年长的参与者都比其他年龄的参与者花更多的时间看同龄的面部，看同龄面部的时间越长，预示着对同龄面部表情的识别能力越好。因此，表情识别中使用的线索可能会随着情绪和面部年龄的函数而变化，并与参与者的年龄相互作用。
We investigated how age of faces and emotion expressed in faces affect young (n = 30) and older (n = 20) adults’ visual inspection while viewing faces and judging their expressions. Overall, expression identification was better for young than older faces, suggesting that interpreting expressions in young faces is easier than in older faces, even for older participants. Moreover, there were age-group differences in misattributions of expressions, in that young participants were more likely to label disgusted faces as angry, whereas older adults were more likely to label angry faces as disgusted. In addition to effects of emotion expressed in faces, age of faces affected visual inspection of faces: Both young and older participants spent more time looking at own-age than other-age faces, with longer looking at own-age faces predicting better own-age expression identification. Thus, cues used in expression identification may shift as a function of emotion and age of faces, in interaction with age of participants.
