Figure 1 .

Attentional cueing task and behavioral performance. (A) A fixation box with 2 diagonal lines was presented for 2200 (±200) ms, followed by either a spatial cue (version 1: shaded arrow pointing left or right; version 2: shaded arrow pointing up or down) for 900 (±400) ms or a temporal cue (version 1: shaded arrow pointing up or down; version 2: shaded arrow pointing left or right) for 900 ms. The target stimulus then appeared to one side of the cue (version 1: left or right; version 2: top or bottom) for 1000 ms. Participants responded regarding the location of the opening on the target stimulus (version 1: top = right middle finger, bottom = right index finger; version 2: right = right index finger, left = right middle finger). Note for both conditions in version 2 of the task, the cue panel on the top corresponds with the target panel on the left and the bottom cue panel precedes the right target panel. Importantly, the version of the task administered was counterbalanced across participants. (B) Metrics for behavior are presented on the y-axis and the 2 conditions (spatial vs. temporal) are separated on the x-axis. Participants responded more quickly (P < 0.001) and accurately (P = 0.034) in the spatially relative to the temporally cued trials. ^*P < 0.05. ^**P < 0.001.
