| Human | 97.19 (4.46) | 98.12 (3.10) | 914 (126) | 789 (99) | 6.93 (1.03) | 5.31 (.48) |

Participants indicated the extent to which they understood what each target was feeling (‘Understanding’), and the extent to which each target made them feel good versus bad (‘Valence’). See the main text further details and Supplementary Table S2 for statistical analysis of these outcomes.
