Fig 1.
Face pairs appeared in one of four configurations: engaged (left) or disengaged (right) and upright (top) or inverted (bottom). Schematic face examples are shown for illustrative purposes only and do not show the images that were used as stimuli in the experiment, which were half-left and half-right facing emotional images from the KDEF stimulus set [34].

Average reaction times in milliseconds in Experiment 1 to upright face pairs (dark grey bars) and inverted face pairs (light grey bars) for engaged (left) and disengaged configurations (right bars) to each emotion. Error bars show ±1 within-subjects standard error.
Fig 3.
Average RTs in Experiment 2 to upright face pairs (dark grey) and inverted face pairs (light grey bars) for engaged (left) and disengaged configurations (right bars) to Anger-Fear and Happy-Neutral emotion combinations. Error bars show ±1 within-subjects standard error.
Fig 4.
Average RTs in Experiment 3 to upright face pairs (dark grey) and inverted face pairs (light grey bars) for engaged (left) and disengaged configurations (right bars) to each emotion. Error bars show ±1 within-subjects standard error.
