Emotion Perception Composite = Z-transformed sum of performance on Face Emotion Identification Task (FEIT) and Face Emotion Discrimination Task (FEDT). Theory of Mind Composite = Z-transformed sum of performance on Hinting Task and TASIT (The Awareness of Social Inferences Test) – Social Minimal Subscale. When controlling for overall word count, all significant correlations remained significant.
