All four versions of an example stimulus (neutral English, neutral Spanish, positive English, and positive Spanish) as well as the corresponding image. Due to copyright restrictions, the image is not one of the ones from our stimulus set, but it is similar to those we used.

Example screen for each of the four tasks in Experiment 1.
(a) Name recall task where participants were asked to type in the name of the object, (b) old/new recognition task where participants had to respond whether they had seen the word before or not, (c) name matching task where participants selected the correct name for the object, and (d) attentional check where participants selected the correct characteristic for the object. All responses were given using the keyboard (F and J keys for Old/New and A, F, and J keys for the matching tasks). Due to copyright restrictions, the image is not one of the ones from our stimulus set, but it is similar to those we used.

Results from the name matching task.
The graphs show (a) percentage of errors and (b) response time. Error bars show 95% confidence intervals.

Fig 4.
Example screen of each of the three tasks in Experiment 2.
(a) Name recall task in which participants were asked to type-in the name of the object, (b) name matching task in which participants selected the correct name for the object, and (c) attentional check in which participants selected the correct characteristic for the object. In Tasks 2 and 3, participants responded using the keyboard keys F for left and J for right. Due to copyright restrictions, the image is not one of the ones from our stimuli, but it is similar to those we used.

Results from the name matching task.
The graphs show (a) percentage of errors and (b) response time in milliseconds. Error bars show 95% confidence intervals.
