A brief description of the nine new experiments investigating the effect of contextual cueing on slope and RT in Figure 4

Experiment	N	SS	Stimuli	Background Lattice	Main effect of Configuration (Slope)	Main effect of Configuration (RT)
2	12	8, 12	Letters	Yes	No	Marginal
3	8	8, 12	T vs L	No	No	Yes
4	12	4, 8, 12	T vs L	Yes	No	Yes
5	12	8, 12	V vs H	Yes	No	Yes
6	12	8, 12	V vs H	Yes	No	Yes
7	12	8, 12	T vs L*	Yes	Marginal	Yes
8	12	8, 12	V vs H	Yes	No	Yes
9	13	8, 12	T vs L	Yes	No	Yes
10	13	8, 12	V vs H	Yes	Yes	Yes

Where N = Number of participants and SS = Set Sizes

Stimuli Description:

Letters = Stimuli were heterogeneous letters. The task was to respond to the mirror reversed letter

T vs L = The task was to respond to the orientation of the letter T among rotated distractor Ls (n.b., this was the same task as that of Experiment 1)

T vs L* = The task was to respond to the color of the T among Ls. All stimuli were randomly colored red or green

V vs H = The task was to report whether the target was a vertical or horizontal line. The distractors were oblique lines orientated either 30, 60, −30 or −60 degrees of the vertical
