Design of Experiment 3. 12 scene-face pairs were shown per block, in 16 blocks. In both Training and Study phases, the primary task was to judge pleasantness of the faces. In the Training phase all faces were presented clearly. At Study participants were presented with degraded faces of which half were primed (DP) and the other half were not primed/novel (DN) and clear (not degraded) faces, of which half were primed (CP) and the other half was not primed/novel (CN). During Study an occasional target task was to spot scenes containing the moon (not shown). The distractor task was a 15 s odd/even number classification task. Test was 3AFC, self-paced and faces were presented degraded in all conditions.
