Figure 5

Illustration of stimulus pairs in the complete composite paradigm (a) and trial sequences (b). In (a), the four conditions used in the paradigm are shown; the attended components are shaded in grey. In (b), a 1000 ms central fixation cross precedes each trial, followed by a cue either below or above the cross, or to the left or right of it, to indicate which halves (top or bottom/left or right) of the characters the participant should attend to in the subsequent display.
