Stimuli were presented in randomised order via the monitor of a notebook computer running the Cogent toolbox of Matlab R2012b. The participant’s task on each trial was to identify from among the five alternatives (verbally or by pointing to the appropriate written name) which emotion was displayed; participant responses were recorded for offline analysis. Participants were first familiarised with the stimuli and task to ensure they understood and were able to comply with the protocol. During the test, no feedback was given and no time limits were imposed on responses. Emotion identification scores were compared among groups using ANOVAs, with Bonferroni-corrected post hoc T-tests when main effects were found.
