摘要

本研究探讨了婴儿在视觉习惯过程中的面部表情，以探讨对母语和非母语语音的感知调谐。采用基于面部动作单元的自动面部情绪分析方法，对实验过程中的效价、唤醒、积极情绪和消极情绪进行分析。效价和唤醒随习惯化而降低，而积极影响随习惯化而增加，且在原生刺激和非原生刺激之间存在差异。面部情绪与歧视结果有关，更好的天生歧视与减少负面情绪有关。这些发现突出了面部表情分析作为早期语言发展研究中基于注视的测量的补充工具的潜力。

Facial affect and arousal as a complement to gaze measures in infant speech sound perception studies.

This study explores infant facial expressions during visual habituation to investigate perceptual attunement to native and non-native speech sounds. Using automated facial affect analysis based on Facial Action Units, we analyzed valence, arousal, positive affect, and negative affect during the experiment. Valence and arousal decreased with habituation, while positive affect increased, with differences between native and non-native stimuli. Facial affect showed links to discrimination outcomes, with better native discrimination linked to reduced negative affect. These findings highlight the potential of facial expression analysis as a complementary tool to gaze-based measures in early language development research.

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Neural Circuits publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research on the emergent properties of neural circuits - the elementary modules of the brain. Specialty Chief Editors Takao K. Hensch and Edward Ruthazer at Harvard University and McGill University respectively, are supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics and the public worldwide. Frontiers in Neural Circuits launched in 2011 with great success and remains a "central watering hole" for research in neural circuits, serving the community worldwide to share data, ideas and inspiration. Articles revealing the anatomy, physiology, development or function of any neural circuitry in any species (from sponges to humans) are welcome. Our common thread seeks the computational strategies used by different circuits to link their structure with function (perceptual, motor, or internal), the general rules by which they operate, and how their particular designs lead to the emergence of complex properties and behaviors. Submissions focused on synaptic, cellular and connectivity principles in neural microcircuits using multidisciplinary approaches, especially newer molecular, developmental and genetic tools, are encouraged. Studies with an evolutionary perspective to better understand how circuit design and capabilities evolved to produce progressively more complex properties and behaviors are especially welcome. The journal is further interested in research revealing how plasticity shapes the structural and functional architecture of neural circuits.
