Block structure for all experiments. On each image trial, subjects pressed a button to indicate the position of the target actor as fast as possible (left or right). In Experiments 1a and 1b, the target actor was the male or female (between-subject). In Experiments 2 and 3, the target actor was the blue- or red-shirted actor (between-subject). Only Experiment 1a contained catch trials, which asked about the action that appeared in the previous trial.
