Fig 6. Emotion identification under different pitch-degraded conditions in normal hearing subjects.

Mean accuracy (top) and reaction time (bottom) for the original version of normal hearing subjects under different acutely degraded acoustic input conditions, compared to those of a group of unilaterally implanted CI children in quiet (right white bar): accuracy in the pink noise (light gray), vocoder 32 (dark gray) and vocoder 22 (black) conditions were significantly less than in quiet (white), with pink noise generating the worst performance and the longest reaction time. Error bars indicate standard error. * p<0.05, *** p<0.001.
