Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Mean response errors as a function of required response, effect prime, and instructed response for three conditions separately. The graph represents three different parts for three conditions separately: visual-verbal link (a), verbal link only (b) no verbal link (c).

Note: Bars represent descriptive means with the standard errors for three main conditions. Required response specifies what response was required from participants in a given trial according to the categorization task instructions. Effect prime specifies whether the blue screen was present (critical) or absent (neutral) in a given trial. In the visual-verbal link (a) and verbal link only (b) conditions, instructed response indicates the instructed action formulated in action-effect manner (“To make the screen blue, I will press the left/right key”). In the no verbal link (c) condition the instructed action was a simple sentence (“I will press the left/right key”).

Figure 2

Compatibility gain scores of response errors.

Note: Bar represents descriptive mean compatibility gain scores of response errors for each condition.

Figure 3

Mean response times as a function of required response, effect prime, and instructed response for three conditions separately. The graph represents three different parts for three conditions separately: visual-verbal link (a), verbal link only (b) no verbal link (c).

Note: Bars represent descriptive means with the standard errors for three main conditions. Required response specifies what response was required from participants in a given trial according to the categorization task instructions. Effect prime specifies whether the blue screen was present (critical) or absent (neutral) in a given trial. In the visual-verbal link (a) and verbal link only (b) conditions, instructed response indicates the instructed action formulated in action-effect manner (“To make the screen blue, I will press the left/right key”). In the no verbal link (c) condition the instructed action was a simple sentence (“I will press the left/right key”).

Note: Bar represents descriptive mean compatibility gain scores of response errors for each condition.
