Figure 1.

Upper panel: A. Timeline of the threshold task. Perceptual thresholds, 75% correct, were found for fearful and neutral faces. B. Adaptive staircases, which made images harder or easier to see based on subject responses, were used in the threshold task to find each participant’s threshold for fearful and neutral faces. C. Cue and stimulus pairs used in the cued task: fear cue/fearful face (FC/FF), neutral cue/fearful face (NC/FF), fear cue/neutral face (FC/NF), and neutral cue/neutral face (NC/NF). D. Timeline of cue task. Participants used cues to respond to a perceptually degraded fearful or neutral face. Lower Panel: Compared to neutral cues, threatening cues led to improvement in E. d-Prime, F. accuracy, and G. Reaction time Faces used in this figure are from the NimStim Face Stimulus Set (Tottenham et al., 2009), a publically available set of emotional face stimuli. The models pictured above have consented to having images of their faces published in scientific journals.
