Correct sound recordings names are in the first column while the most frequently perceived misidentification is in the second to last column. Based on the highest perceived misidentification, the last column denotes the objective shift in category and predicts how it affects pleasantness. The middle column contains the correct identification percentage for each sound. Each sound name includes a ‘V’ to signify that it is vocoded and its pair label (emotional category and pair number).
