Fig. 2.

Outline of experimental design for both trial types (i.e., valid and invalid trials) during both the Traditional and Affect cueing tasks. Cue: yellow square frame. Target: “cookie” (within square frame during valid trials, opposite side of cue during invalid trials). The fixation point was a cartoon face similar to clip art positioned in the middle of the computer screen. Latency of the non-speech, motor response of button-pushing (reaction time, RT) – from onset of target to onset of button response – was measured in milliseconds (ms). From onset of target, participant had 3000 ms to respond (i.e., push button); a new cue – target combination begins upon participant button-pushing response.
