Fig. 3.

Tonal ellipses of four NH subjects and four subjects with CIs. The four subjects from each group were randomly selected from those with tone production scores (judged by the native-Mandarin-speaking adult listeners) in the ranges of 0 – 25th, 25th – 50th, 50th – 75th, and 75th – 100th percentiles of each respective group. The tone production score (% correct) for each subject is shown at the lower left corner of each panel. Each symbol represents the F0 onset and offset data of one tone token.
