Representative experimental stimuli and timecourse (Experiments 1 and 2). The study began. with a fixation cross, which was followed by a dance video 7–9 seconds in length. After 25% of the trials, a ‘?’ appeared, signaling to participants that they would next see a 2‐second probe video. Participants' task was to decide whether this video segment was part of the longer video they had just watched. Probe sequences were always chosen from the same category as experimental videos (i.e., a face‐visible natural dance style probe video would always follow a face‐visible natural dance style experimental video, and so on). Following the probe video, participants had 2 seconds to respond whether the probe video was or was not part of the previously observed experimental video. In Experiment 1, the videos featured a human dancing in a robotic style (top video segment) or in a natural human style (bottom video segment), and the dancer's face was either exposed (shown) or covered with a white mask (not shown). In Experiment 2, the videos featured a human dancing in a robotic style (top video segment) or in a natural human style (bottom video segment), or a Lego figure dancing in a robotic or natural human style (not shown).
