Trial structure and timing. In (A) the priming stimulus was a characteristic hand posture, in (B) it was a picture of a tool, and in (C) an image of a distorted, unrecognizable object. After a fixation point presented on a blank screen for a variable time interval (1000, 1500, or 2000 ms), the priming stimulus was shown either on the left or right (as shown by a grayed inset) for 150 ms, followed by a 50-ms mask, and a centrally presented gesture. The movie stayed on the screen until a participant responded or for up to 4 s. Additional 1-s delay interval was introduced after a movie disappeared.
