Behavioral responses to categories in the task.
VACC = vaccination, NUC = nuclear energy, GMO = GMO technology, MEDS = medicines, SOL = solar energy, FARM = natural farming. The percentage is presented for positive adjectives rated as congruent (“yes”) with a cue and negative adjectives rated as non-congruent (“no”). *** p < .001, ** p < .01, * p < .05.

ERP waveform to prime-words for six conditions presented during the study on the PZ.
VACC = vaccination, NUC = nuclear energy, GMO = GMO technology, MEDS = medicines, SOL = solar energy, FARM = natural farming.

ERP waveform to target-words for six conditions presented during the study on the CZ.
VACC = vaccination, NUC = nuclear energy, GMO = GMO technology, MEDS = medicines, SOL = solar energy, FARM = natural farming.

Rating of self-perceived expertise for six domains presented during the study.
VACC = vaccination, NUC = nuclear energy, GMO = GMO technology, MEDS = medicines, SOL = solar energy, FARM = natural farming. Error bars represent standard deviation. P < .01, * p < .05.
