Figure 2.
The mean (n=9) accuracy in the Small Number Prime condition (Error bars depict standard error of the means). Small numbers presumably shift attention to the left side of space and hence the left side of the line is overrepresented and it thus appears longer than it actually is. Because of this overrepresentation, the accuracy on trials on which the left side of the line is shorter should be lower than accuracy on trials on which the left side is longer. This pattern was observed in the No TMS Condition as well as in the Left ANG TMS condition. In contrast, this bias was abolished by right ANG TMS. Asterisks indicate statistically significant difference.
