Priming Effects and prime discrimination in Experiment 2. Behavioral priming effects (Scrambled - Identity) and proportion correct prime discrimination displayed by experimental condition. Error bars reflect standard errors of the mean across participants. Planned contrasts (one-sample t-tests) depict significant priming effects for both tool and animal targets in locations 1 (directly above fixation), 3 (directly to the right of fixation), 5 (directly below fixation) and 7 (directly to the left of fixation) (all ps < .01). Tool priming effects in the diagonals were all significant; prime location 2: upper right (t(35) = 5.59, p < .001); prime location 4: lower right (t(35) = 2.69, p < .05); prime location 8: upper left (t(35) = 2.44, p < .02); prime location 6: lower left (t(35) = 2.39, p < .05). Analysis of animal priming effects in the diagonals found significant priming effects only for the upper left position (t(35) = 3.15, p < .01). All one-way t-tests reported as significant survived FDR correction (q < .05). Legend for alpha levels in figure: * p < .05; ** p < .01; *** p < .001.
