Cognitive Features of Self-face Recognition for Five-year Old Children

Abstract

Abstract: Original pictures and PS pictures of the participants were used to investigate cognitive features of five-year-old children in self face recognition. The results showed: 1)five-year old children could recognize their photos, but there was significant sexual difference in their recoghition of outer and inner features of self-face; 2)most five-year-old children those self faces with different hair style as others not their own, especially those with hair-style of the opposite sex; 3)children were more sensitive to their eyes than their mouth when processing their own faces.

Key words: five-year-old children, self face recognition, internal characteristic, external characteristic.

摘要： 具备自我面孔的识别能力是个体发展中的里程碑，以往的研究大多集中于儿童镜像自我面孔认知能力的发生发展，而缺乏对稍微年长儿童自我面孔识别发展特点的研究。本研究采用逐张呈现被试原本照片以及通过Photoshop改变内外部特征的面孔让儿童进行辨认的方法，考察5岁儿童自我面孔识别的特点。结果发现：（1）5岁儿童能正确识别原本的自我整体面孔，但对自我外部特征和内部特征的识别出现了明显的性别差异；（2）大多数5岁儿童认为发型变化的自我面孔不再是自己的，尤其是更换了异性发型的面孔；（3）儿童对自我面孔的眼睛部位更为敏感。
