Abstract

This project examined viewing times and saccades while participants recognize fear and surprise presented in pairs within groups. Roy-Charland, Perron, Young, Boulard, and Chamberland (2015 Roy-Charland, A., Perron, M., Young, C., Boulard, J., & Chamberland, J. A. (2015). The confusion of fear and surprise: A developmental study of the Perceptual-Attentional Limitation Hypothesis using eye movements. The Journal of Genetic Psychology, 176(5), 281–298. doi:10.1080/00221325.2015.1066301[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) found that children ages 9–11 were as accurate as adults in recognizing the emotions, and both groups were higher than children ages 3–5. Interestingly, the two groups of children made fewer saccades between the pair of faces and viewed the expressions longer than the adult group. Thus, while accuracy is equal to adults by ages 9–11, visual processing differs. This project added a group of adolescents (14–17) in search of a turning point in visual strategies used in the perceptual-attentional processing of fear and surprise. Results suggest a speed/accuracy tradeoff. In effect, adolescents were as fast as adults, but their accuracy was lower. Furthermore, adolescents made fewer saccades than adults, similar to groups aged 3–5 and 9–11 years old. These results add another piece in the understanding of the developmental trajectory of recognition of facial expressions.

摘要

该项目检查了观看时间和眼跳，而参与者认识到在小组内成对出现的恐惧和惊讶。Roy-Charland、Perron、Young、Boulard 和 Chamberland（2015 年） Roy-Charland, A.、Perron, M.、Young, C.、Boulard, J.和Chamberland, JA（2015 年）。恐惧和惊讶的混淆：使用眼球运动的感知-注意限制假设的发展研究。遗传心理学杂志, 176 (5), 281 – 298。doi: 10.1080/00221325.2015.1066301 [Taylor & Francis Online]、[Web of Science® ]  、[Google Scholar]) 发现，9-11 岁的儿童在识别情绪方面与成人一样准确，并且两组均高于 3-5 岁的儿童。有趣的是，这两组儿童在这对面孔之间的扫视次数较少，而且观察表情的时间比成人组长。因此，虽然准确性与 9-11 岁的成年人相同，但视觉处理不同。该项目增加了一组青少年（14-17 岁），以寻找用于恐惧和惊讶的知觉注意处理的视觉策略的转折点。结果表明速度/准确性权衡. 实际上，青少年和成年人一样快，但他们的准确性较低。此外，与 3-5 岁和 9-11 岁年龄组相似，青少年的扫视次数少于成人。这些结果增加了对面部表情识别发展轨迹的理解。
