To investigate the role of early regulatory problems (RP), such as problems in feeding, sleeping, and calming down during later development, the association between parent-reported RP at 3 months (no-RP, n = 110; RP, n = 66) and attention to emotional faces at 8 months was studied. Eight-month-old infants had a strong tendency to look at faces and to specifically fearful faces, and the individual variance in this tendency was assessed with eye tracking using a face-distractor paradigm. The early RPs were related to a lower attention bias to fearful faces compared to happy and neutral faces after controlling for temperamental negative affectivity. This suggests that early RPs are related to the processing of emotional information later during infancy.

行为调节问题与婴儿期对恐惧面孔的较低注意力偏差有关

为了研究早期调节问题 (RP) 的作用，例如在后期发育过程中喂养、睡眠和冷静方面的问题，父母报告的 3 个月时的 RP 之间的关联（无 RP，n  = 110；RP，n  = 66) 并研究了 8 个月时对情绪面孔的关注。八个月大的婴儿有很强的看脸的倾向，特别是可怕的脸，这种倾向的个体差异是通过使用面部牵引范式的眼动追踪来评估的。与快乐和中性面孔相比，在控制了气质负面情感后，早期的 RP 与对恐惧面孔的较低注意力偏差有关。这表明早期的 RP 与婴儿后期的情绪信息处理有关。
