Short-term visual deprivation reduces interference effects of task-irrelevant facial expressions on affective prosody judgments.

Because we found a similar pattern of results in VD1 and VD2 (significant performance improvement selectively in the incongruent condition of the ‘attend voices’ block in session 2, which was still significant or showed a trend toward significance in session 3 in VD2 and VD1, respectively), the average delay in testing following visual deprivation cannot fully explain the differing results of our study and others.
