Judgments of facial attractiveness invariably accompany our perception of faces. Even neonates appear to be capable of making such judgments in a manner consistent with adults. This suggests that the processes supporting facial attractiveness require little, if any, visual experience to manifest. Here we investigate the resilience of these processes to several years of early-onset visual deprivation. Specifically, we study whether congenitally blind children treated several years after birth possess the ability to rate facial attractiveness in a manner congruent to normally sighted individuals. The data reveal significant individual variability in the way each newly sighted child perceives attractiveness. This is in marked contrast to data from normally sighted controls who exhibit strong across-subject agreement in facial attractiveness ratings. This variability may be attributable, in part, to atypical facial encoding strategies used by the newly sighted children. Overall, our results suggest that the development of facial attractiveness perception is likely to be vulnerable to early visual deprivation, pointing to the existence of a possible sensitive period early in the developmental trajectory.

面部吸引力感知对早期和多年视觉剥夺的脆弱性
面部吸引力的判断总是伴随着我们对面部的感知。甚至新生儿似乎也能以与成人一致的方式做出此类判断。这表明支持面部吸引力的过程几乎不需要（如果有的话）视觉体验即可显现。在这里，我们调查了这些过程对几年早发性视觉剥夺的恢复能力。具体来说，我们研究了先天性失明儿童在出生后数年接受治疗是否具有以与视力正常的人一致的方式评价面部吸引力的能力。数据揭示了每个新视力儿童感知吸引力的方式存在显着的个体差异。这与视力正常的对照组的数据形成鲜明对比，后者在面部吸引力评级方面表现出很强的跨主体一致性。这种可变性可能部分归因于新视力儿童使用的非典型面部编码策略。总体而言，我们的结果表明，面部吸引力感知的发展很可能容易受到早期视觉剥夺的影响，这表明在发展轨迹的早期可能存在敏感期。
