Fig 5. Experimental stimuli adopted for Experiment 2.

An attentional-capturing red dot was briefly presented in either one of two specific positions: ‘left side’ (see left column), over the starting block for the Request condition and over the actress’s hand moving back to the initial position for the No-Request condition; and ‘right side’ (see right column), over the out-of-reach mug located on the right side of the screen (Request and No-Request conditions). White dotted circles indicate the red dot position.
