Experiment 1: Proportion correct target Color and Number recognition for each level of rhythm alteration (m = 0.0, 0.50, 0.25, 0.75). Dotted lines (with open circles) represent the different-sex background talker condition and solid lines (with squares) represent the same-sex background talker condition. Panel A shows the proportion correct when the target rhythm was altered (same-sex: n = 10, different-sex: n = 8), while Panel B shows the proportion correct when the background rhythm was altered (same-sex: n = 9, different-sex: n = 9). Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
