Note: Manip reflects the categorical distinction of manipulable or non-manipulable based on ratings from the Mechanical Turk (see method). Turk Mean reflects the average Likert-scale rating of manipulability from participants in the normative study of the Mechanical Turk. Z-Turk reflects the respective z-score for each category cue based on its rated manipulability salience. RT-Mean reflects the mean reation time across participants (N=11) for the offset of the stimulus until the onset of overt naming. Diff-Mean reflects the average rated difficulty of each category cue from the subset of participants who completed the reaction time experiment.
