An Example of a Couplet (Not to Scale).
Note: Two trials were performed for each couplet. Each trial began by displaying three boxes as placeholders for 200 ms. Subsequently, the width of the outline of the central box was increased as a fixation cue for 1200 ms (Experiments 1 and 3) or 1600 ms (Experiment 2). During the same period, a response cue indicating the response to make was presented in the central box. In Experiment 1, Cue 1/Cue 2 was a Chinese word indicating the left or right. In Experiment 2, Cue 1/Cue 2 were Chinese words indicating ‘press the left button for a target at the left location; press the right button for a target at the right location’ or ‘press the right button for a target at the left location; press the left button for a target at the right location’. In Experiment 3, Cue 1/Cue 2 were Chinese words indicating that ‘press the left button for an oval; press the right button for a rectangle’ or ‘press the right button for an oval; press the left button for a rectangle’. After an interval of 200 ms, a target was presented in either the left or right box, or the target was absent.
