Abstract

The face inversion effect is an important indicator of holistic face perception and reflects the developmental level of face processing. This study examined the face inversion effect in deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) children aged 7-17 using the face dimensions task. This task uses photographic images of a face, in which configural and featural information in the eye and mouth regions have been parametrically and independently manipulated. The study aimed to discuss the effect of face inversion on facial processing in DHH children, including two aspects of information processing types (configural versus featural) and processing regions (eyes versus mouth) and compared the results with hearing children. The results revealed that DHH children aged 7-17 years exhibit significant face inversion effect, with disruptions observed in both the featural and configural processing of eyes and mouths when faces were inverted. Configural processing was more affected by inversion than featural processing in all children, with larger differences observed in DHH children than in hearing children. This supports the dual-mode hypothesis of holistic face processing. Age correlations were observed in the sensitivity of DHH children to face inversion effect but not among hearing children. The inversion effect of configural mouth processing decreases with age in DHH children.

对聋哑儿童面部倒置效应的调查。

面孔倒置效应是整体面孔感知的一个重要指标，它反映了面孔加工的发展水平。本研究使用人脸维度任务对 7-17 岁聋人或重听（DHH）儿童的人脸倒置效应进行了研究。该任务使用人脸的照片图像，其中眼睛和嘴巴区域的构型和特征信息已被参数化并独立处理。该研究旨在讨论人脸反转对 DHH 儿童面部加工的影响，包括信息加工类型（构型与特征）和加工区域（眼睛与嘴巴）两个方面，并将结果与听力残疾儿童进行比较。结果显示，7-17 岁的 DHH 儿童表现出明显的面部倒置效应，当面部倒置时，眼睛和嘴巴的特征和构型加工都会受到影响。在所有儿童中，构型加工受倒置的影响比特征加工更大，在 DHH 儿童中观察到的差异比在听力儿童中观察到的差异更大。这支持了整体面孔加工的双模式假说。在 DHH 儿童对脸部反转效应的敏感性方面观察到了年龄相关性，但在听力正常儿童中却没有观察到。在 DHH 儿童中，口腔构型加工的倒置效应会随着年龄的增长而减弱。
