Abstract: In this research, with cartoon pictures as stimuli, the authors tried to compare the difference of eye-movement in different tasks by giving three different processing tasks including cartoon face recognition, classification and attractiveness evaluation in 5-6-year-old children. The research results showed that: (1) the task situation affected the cartoon face processing of children. The reaction time, accuracy, fixation time and frequency varied when children were performing different face processing tasks; (2) the processing degree of children increased according to the three tasks with increasing degrees of difficulty; (3) the processing modes of children were consistent in the three tasks, and different parts of the cartoon face got different amount of attention from children. In the beginning, attention was first paid to the nose, and then most attention went to the eyes, next were the nose, the mouth, the forehead and the cheeks, while the chin was rarely noted; (4) a significant difference in gender was shown in the cartoon face classification task between boys and girls - girls had an advantage over boys in processing speed, while boys were more active in searching for key information.

Key words: children, cartoon face, task situation, face processing, eye-movement
