Body Emotion Processing in Children with Hearing Impairment:Evidence from Eye Movement
In order to study whether there are deficits in the processing of body emotions of children with hearing impairment,17 children with hearing impairment and 17 typically developing children matched by gender and grade were selected to view pictures of pleasant,calm and angry body emotion and judge the emotional valence,and eye tracking technology was used to collect visual indicators of two groups of children who viewed the body emotions.The results showed that:(1)The response time of children with hearing impairment to the pleasant body was shorter than that of the general children,and the correct rate of calm bodies was lower than that of the general children;(2)the amount of all the eye-movement indicators of the body emotions of the children with hearing impairment was significantly less than that of the general children;(3)Children with hearing impairment,like typically developing children,processed body emotions in the order of depth from deepest to shallowest,all in the upper bodies,head and lower bodies.This indicates that the processing mode of body emotions in children with hearing impairment is the same as that of general children,but the processing depth is not as deep as that of general children,and there are certain defects.The in-depth processing training should be strengthened in the future training of emotional ability improvement.
