Figure 2. Individual median RTs and mean median RTs (adjusted for performance in the physical control condition) for the affective and cognitive ToM components as a function of age group in the first (left) and second (right) order conditions. Error bars represent within-subject standard errors. * p <.05 ** p <.01 *** p <.001.
