- Figure 1.
a, Timeline of the experimental procedure for sentence priming in experiment 1. Priming sentences, presented through headphones, either referred to faces or scenes. The picture probes were either of a face or a place. Colored fixation crosses (red and blue) prompted each plausibility response. b, Event-related response to face picture probes appearing after face sentence primes (red) and place sentence primes (blue). Shaded areas represent the SE of the difference between the two waveforms. Consequently, the same error term is superimposed on both waveforms.

a, Timeline of the experimental procedure for picture priming in experiment 2. Primes were either pictures of faces or scenes and were followed by face or place picture probes. b, Event-related response to face picture probes appearing after a face picture primes (red) and place picture primes (blue). Shaded areas represent the SE of the difference between the two waveforms as in Figure 1.
- Figure 3.
Peak amplitude of the N170 response to face probes in experiment 1 (left side) and experiment 2 (right side). Within each experiment, the data are plotted for the left (LH) and right (RH) hemispheres, as a function of whether the prime referred to a face or place. Error bars correspond to SE of the difference between the two conditions for each type of prime.
- Figure 4.
Reaction time data for experiment 3. Participants made a speeded response, classifying a face probe as male or female. These pictures were preceded by sentence (auditory) or picture (visual) primes that either referred to or depicted a face or place. Error bars correspond to SE of the difference between the two conditions for each type of prime.
