Research using posed emotional expressions is problematic because they lack ecological validity. Adults’ recognition of spontaneous real-world expressions may require the inclusion of postural information. Whether posture improves children’s recognition of real-world expressions was unknown. Younger children (n = 30; 5- to 7-year-olds), older children (n = 30; 8- to 10-year-olds), and adults (n = 30) judged whether tennis players had won or lost a point. Images showed one of three cue types: Head-only, Body-only, or Head–Body expressions. Recognition of expressions improved with age; older children and adults performed better than younger children. In addition, recognition of Body-only and Head–Body cues was better than Head-only cues for all ages. Spontaneous expression recognition improved throughout childhood and with the inclusion of postural information.

赢家和输家:对自发情绪表达的认识在整个童年时期都会增加
使用姿势情绪表达的研究是有问题的,因为它们缺乏生态有效性。成年人对自发的现实世界表达的识别可能需要包含姿势信息。姿势是否能提高儿童对现实世界表情的识别尚不清楚。年幼的儿童(n = 30;5 至 7 岁)、年长的儿童(n = 30;8 至 10 岁)和成人(n = 30) 判断网球选手是赢了还是丢了分。图像显示三种提示类型之一:仅头部、仅身体或头部 - 身体表达。随着年龄的增长,对表达的识别能力有所提高;年龄较大的儿童和成人的表现优于年幼的儿童。此外,对所有年龄段的仅身体和头部 - 身体线索的识别都优于仅头部线索。自发表情识别在整个童年时期都得到了改善,并且包含了姿势信息。
