Figure 1. Overview of the sequences of events within trials.

Timing of events within an experimental trial, separated for the two action formats (‘to fly towards’ and ‘to bump into’). Time is displayed upwards. The block started with the instruction cue (‘WORD’ or ‘SENTENCE’), a fixation cross, a ready sign, and a randomized sequence of trials. For each trial type screenshots are displayed to illustrate the actual moving time period of the objects along with the moments of expected response of the participant, and the corresponding ERP epochs of interest (time-locked to scene onset and the bump event, respectively).
