Child instruction:
test Instructions adapt to the participant’s age
Possibility to generate a personal narrative report :
“This person has a percentage correct on this test of 93.3.
Compared to the selected norm group this performance is good.
This is a general statement. See the figures in the report for
differences between the emotions presented.
Generally speaking, the recognition process across all stimulus
categories has an average speed.
With regard to the percentage correct and the average reaction
time of this person, one may speak of no speed-accuracy trade-off:
that is, performance is unaffected by the speed of response.”
