Figure 1.
Full-light and Point-light Display Stimuli.
Two corresponding frames of a ‘Happy’ clip presented in both Full-light and Point-light display.
Figure 2.
Emotion recognition scores (% correct) for the children recognizing emotion from full-light (top chart) or from point-light (bottom chart) displays of body movements.
Children's individual scores are presented as blue dots. The corresponding bilinear trend-lines are presented as a red line, with a black dashed line indicating the position of the knot in both cases. Adults' data are presented as a boxplot in both graphs, representing the median and upper and lower quartiles.
Figure 3.
Age and Recognition Score for each Emotion.
For display purposes children are grouped by age. Bars representing the mean recognition score (percent correct response) for each group and each emotion are shown under both Full-light Display (A) and Point-light Display (B). Error bars represent SEM. Level of chance marked at 25%. The seven age groups of children comprise 14 (4–5 years old), 24 (6–7 years old), 21 (8–9 years old), 14 (10–11 years old), 9 (12–13 years old), 10 (14–15 years old) and 15 (16–17 years old) subjects respectively.
