FIGURE 2.

One set of pictures from the different experimental conditions. The critical question during these pictures and the right answer was the same: “Which animal has a light-switch and also a battery?”, “The rabbit”. When pictures of the left column were presented (ANSWER: EARLY), participants could already guess the answer at the beginning of the question. When pictures were presented in the upper row (CONGRUENCE: CONGRUENT), participants could guess the length of the final word after listening to the first part of the question, because the names of the remaining objects had the same number of syllables (red circles). In the INCONGRUENT condition (lower row) the potential last words had different number of syllables (red and blue circles). The red and blue circles were not part of the presented images; they serve only the purpose of illustration here.
