Age-related patterns of 4 different strategies for describing emotions. A) Use of general definitions followed an emergent pattern that increased across childhood and adolescence before plateauing. B) Use of synonyms increased linearly with increasing age. C) Use of example situations followed a diminishing pattern that decreased across childhood and adolescence before plateauing. D) Use of physiological markers followed a non-linear pattern that was elevated in childhood. Solid black lines depict spline model fits (dark grey regions represent 95% CI from spline models). Vertical dashed lines show developmental plateaus computed using first derivatives of spline fits (vertical light grey regions represent 95% CIs from bootstrap simulations).
