Abstract

The current study examined to what extent face and speech processing interact with each other and whether they enhance or impair the processing of the other in 5-year-olds ( n = 51) and adults ( n = 34). Using a computer-based speeded sorting task allowed to directly test the influence of auditory speech on face processing and the influence of face identity on auditory speech processing within one experiment. Participants were asked to either sort faces while ignoring auditory speech information (face task) or to sort auditory speech while ignoring face information (speech task). The tasks comprised three conditions: control (irrelevant dimension constant), correlational (congruent pairing of relevant and irrelevant dimension), and orthogonal (random pairing). For the 5-year-olds, reaction times did not differ in the face task, but differed in the speech task. They were the fastest in the control and the slowest in the orthogonal compared with the constant conditions. Adults’ reaction times were similar across conditions and tasks indicating an independent processing of faces and speech. Hence, we found an asymmetrical processing pattern between face and auditory speech processing in children, in which face identity is processed independent of auditory speech; however, auditory speech processing is affected by face identity.

5 岁儿童和成人的面部与语音处理相互作用的差异

本研究探讨了在 5 岁儿童（51 人）和成人（34 人）中，面孔处理和语音处理在多大程度上相互影响，以及它们是否会增强或削弱对方的处理能力。通过使用基于计算机的快速排序任务，可以在一次实验中直接测试听觉语音对人脸处理的影响，以及人脸身份对听觉语音处理的影响。实验要求被试在忽略听觉语音信息的同时对人脸进行排序（人脸任务），或在忽略人脸信息的同时对听觉语音进行排序（语音任务）。任务包括三个条件：控制（无关维度不变）、相关（相关维度和无关维度的一致配对）和正交（随机配对）。对于 5 岁儿童来说，面孔任务的反应时间没有差异，但言语任务的反应时间有差异。与恒定条件相比，对照组的反应时间最快，而正交组的反应时间最慢。成人在不同条件和任务下的反应时间相似，这表明他们对面孔和言语的处理是独立的。因此，我们发现儿童的人脸和听觉言语处理之间存在一种不对称的处理模式，即人脸身份的处理独立于听觉言语；然而，听觉言语的处理受到人脸身份的影响。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
