摘　　要：婴儿能否感知到音乐的情绪?以往研究混淆了婴儿对音乐声学特征和情绪特征的加工。本研究采用预期违背范式,观察了10~20个月婴儿听音乐(听觉)后是否形成对表情(视觉)的情绪预期。研究者给婴儿播放快乐或悲伤的音乐后,呈现与音乐情绪一致或不一致的成人表情图片,使用眼动仪记录婴儿对表情图片的注视时长和瞳孔反应。结果发现,在表情与音乐情绪不一致的条件下,婴儿的注视时长更长,可能说明不一致的情况违背了婴儿的预期;在表情与音乐情绪一致的条件下,婴儿的瞳孔扩张程度更大,可能表明音乐和表情能够唤起婴儿相似的情感反应。结果表明,10~20个月的婴儿已经能够感知快乐和悲伤的音乐情绪,并形成情绪预期,用于后续的表情加工。The capacity of infants to perceive emotions in music has been debated.Previous studies often mixed music emotion perception with acoustic processing.To address this,the violation-of-expectation(VoE)paradigm was employed to investigate whether infants aged 10~20 months form emotional expectations about facial expressions after listening to music.Infants were presented with either happy or sad music,followed by adult facial expressions that were either consistent or inconsistent with the emotion of the music.Eye-tracking technology was used to measure infants’looking time and pupil response to the facial expressions.The results revealed that infants looked significantly longer at facial expressions inconsistent with the emotion of music,which indicates a violation of their expectations.Furthermore,greater pupil dilation was observed when facial expressions were consistent with the emotion of music,which suggests that music and facial expressions may evoke similar emotional responses in infants.These findings indicate that infants as young as 10~20 months can distinguish between happy and sad emotions in music and form emotional expectations that guide their subsequent processing of facial expressions.
