FIG. 3.

(Color online) (A) shows the time course of adjusted pupil dilations while listening to sentences with conflicting, reduced, and congruent prosody, and for the first 2 s of the 4-s silent interval between the end of a sentence and the signal to begin the sentence recall. Pupil sizes are shown relative to the pre-sentence baselines, further scaled as a percentage of the individuals' pupillary dynamic range (see the text). The vertical line at the zero-point on the abscissa is aligned with the sentence endings. (B) shows the mean adjusted pupil sizes over a 1-s time window beginning 400 ms after a sentence ending for each of the three prosody conditions [shaded area in (A)]. (C) shows these data, excluding the participants with CNC scores below 45% correct. The error bars are one standard error.
