Effects of face masks on facial emotion recognition. A–C, distribution of hit rates, confidence ratings and performance awareness by mask condition and age cohort. Data are binned (bin width 0.10 for hit rates and performance awareness and 0.20 for confidence ratings). D–E, mean hit rates, confidence ratings and performance awareness by mask condition and age cohort. G–I, scatter plots showing the relation between age and mask effects on hit rates, confidence ratings and performance awareness in the old cohort. Dots represent individuals, lines are regression lines. Confidence ratings are rescaled to unity (minimal possible value 0, maximal possible value 1)
