Figure 1.
Sample displays in Experiment 1 (A) and Experiment 2 (B).
In all cases, a prime display occurred before a probe display. Prime displays were manipulated to have four versions following a 2 (priming condition: NP vs. control) by 2 (display sequence: distractor-first vs. target-first) factorial within-participant design. In the NP condition, the distractor letter in the prime display (“C”) became the target letter in the probe display. In the control condition, the target letter in the probe display was not related to the target letter or distractor letter in the prime display. In the distractor-first condition, the distractor letter occurred before the target letter. In the target-first condition, the target occurred before the distractor letter. In Experiment 1, the distractor letters were in red, whereas the target letters and all other digits were in black. In Experiment 2, the target letters were in red, whereas the distractor letters and all other digits were in black. In both experiments, the display sequence for both target and distractor in the probe display was counterbalanced.
