摘要

拟人化人脸--物体中的虚幻人脸--为研究人脸处理过程中的偏差提供了一个独特的背景，因为它们在视觉上具有多样性（如颜色、形状），同时又缺乏真实人脸的关键要素（如种族、物种）。在一项在线研究中，7、8 岁的儿童（n = 32）和成人（n = 32）对人脸和狰狞人脸图像中的喜怒表情进行了分类。我们发现，儿童在对人脸和狰狞脸进行分类时具有类似成人的强大的快乐表情优势，这体现在速度和准确性上。这些结果表明，喜脸优势并不是人脸所独有的，这支持了人类在处理栅栏脸和人脸时使用相似人脸模板的假设。我们的研究结果补充了越来越多的人类和楹联人脸在处理过程中的相似之处，并表明儿童也可能同样表现出这些相似之处。

A happy face advantage for pareidolic faces in children and adults

Pareidolic faces—illusory faces in objects—offer a unique context for studying biases in the development of facial processing because they are visually diverse (e.g., color, shape) while lacking key elements of real faces (e.g., race, species). In an online study, 7- and 8-year-old children (n = 32) and adults (n = 32) categorized happy and angry expressions in human and pareidolic face images. We found that children have a robust, adult-like happy face advantage for human and pareidolic faces, reflected in speed and accuracy. These results suggest that the happy face advantage is not unique to human faces, supporting the hypothesis that humans employ comparable face templates for processing pareidolic and human faces. Our findings add to a growing list of other processing similarities between human and pareidolic faces and suggest that children may likewise show these similarities.
