Summary of Qualitative Differences Between Experiment 1 and Experiment 2

	Experiment 1	Experiment 2
Curvefits	CI users delayed relative to NH controls in fixations to all items CI users have fewer target fixations than NH controls CI users have more late fixations to all competitors than NH controls	CIS group delayed relative to NS controls only in target and cohort fixations CIS group and NS controls have equal target fixations CIS group has more late rhyme and unrelated fixations than NS controls
Early sensitivity to the signal	CI users slower to activate relevant item than NH controls	CIS group slower to activate relevant item than NS controls
Competitor suppression	CI users and NH controls equally fast to suppress competitor once it had been activated	CIS group and NS controls equally fast to suppress competitor once it had been activated
Degree of consideration	Peak Both groups fixated cohort more than unrelated Both groups fixated rhyme more than unrelated, but CI users showed more rhyme activation than the NH group RT CI users showed late cohort activation, NH group did not CI users showed late rhyme activation, NH group did not	Peak Both groups fixated cohort more than unrelated Both groups fixated rhyme more than unrelated, but the groups were equal in their degree of rhyme activation RT Both groups showed late cohort activation equally CIS group showed late rhyme activation, NS group did not
