Fig. 4: The schematic of the RSA approach.

Panel A and results for the predictive modeling of the emotion judgment performance in the sorting B, C and matching D, E tasks. A Illustrating the RSA GEE model of how perceptual discrimination and conceptual knowledge predict children’s emotion judgment with age,while controlling for FACS. Grand averages matrices are used for illustration here, whereas individual matrices were emplyed for analysis; (B). The interaction between age and perceptual discrimination in the prediction of emotion judgment. Statistical analyses were performed using GEE, with two-sided tests and p-values value adjusted for multiple comparisons using the FDR correction; (C). Linear prediction slope of perceptual discrimination by age. Each point represents the group-level mean, with error bars indicating ±1 SEM based on biologically independent participants; (D). The interaction between age and conceptual knowledge in the prediction of emotion judgment. Statistical analyses were performed using GEE, with two-sided tests and FDR-corrected p values; (E). Linear prediction slope of conceptual knowledge by age. Each point represents the group-level mean, with error bars indicating ±1 SEM based on biologically independent participants.
