Table 1.
Mean reaction times (in milliseconds) and percentage of errors by conditions of target presence (present vs. absent), distractor on trial n (angry vs. neutral), feature repetition relative to trial n-1 (repeated vs. switched) and set size (3 vs. 6) in Experiment 1, separately for upright faces and for inverted faces.
