Corrected Mean Proportion Accuracy (Standard Error) for Contexts in the Absence of Facial Expressions

Context
Age group Anger Disgust
4-year-olds .60 (.10) .48 (.12)
8-year-olds .96 (.02) .91 (.03)
12-year-olds .98 (.01) .91 (.03)
College students .94 (.04) .88 (.04)

Note. Values displayed represent corrected mean proportions to account for different probabilities of guessing correct due to the different number of response options across age groups. Corrected means calculated via formula scoring (i.e., the proportion of incorrect responses divided by one less than the number of response options, subtracted from the proportion of correct responses). Identifying all stimuli correctly would result in a score of 1, and chance performance would result in a score of 0. Negative values indicate below chance performance.
