孤独症聋童手语沟通中面部表情加工的特征表现研究

Study on the Characteristics of Facial Expression Processing in Sign Language Communication of Deaf Children with Autism

对孤独症聋童、单一孤独症儿童和一般聋童的面部表情加工特征分别进行对比研究后,梳理出手语沟通中孤独症聋童面部表情加工的特征表现:一是在面部表情识别上,孤独症聋童在手语沟通过程中较少识别出完整、正确的面部表情,但其在识别过程中表现出对面部信息的依赖;二是在面部表情的使用上,孤独症聋童在手语输出中并没有因使用手语而产生更多的面部表情,这与孤独症本身的障碍有很大的关系。

This study,based on a comparison between deaf children with autism and children with autism or deaf children,summarizes the characteristics of facial expression processing of deaf children with autism during sign language communication process,and the results show that:(1)for facial expression recognition,few complete and correct facial expressions are recognized by deaf children with autism,but the recognition process relies on facial information;(2)deaf children with autism produce fewer facial expressions when they use sign language,which is related to autism children′s own disorders.
