The classic, highly structured choice-from-array task with novel emotion categories. Pre-recorded material presented over headphones is depicted in light gray boxes; verbal interactions with the experimenter are presented in dark gray boxes. A. Manipulation check: Participants listened to a scenario in their native language and were then asked to describe how the protagonist in the story feels. B. Perception trials blocked by emotion category. Following the manipulation check for a given emotion category, participants completed a block of trials for that category. On every trial, participants listened to the scenario again followed by target and foil vocalizations. Vocalizations were played, one at a time, with an icon presented concurrently on either the left or right side of the screen (no words were present on screen). Participants touched an icon to select a vocalization. Once a trial was complete, participants completed another trial from the same emotion category. Targets were presented randomly on the left or right within a block.
