Fig. 7: Boy Task.

Illustrated is an exemplary trial configuration. Each trial began with a fixation cross displayed for 100 ms. This was followed by a prime (central arrow) for 30 ms and a mask (randomly allocated lines) for 30 ms. The target (central arrow) and flankers were presented for 100 ms, after which the screen turned black. Primes aligning with the target arrow were labeled compatible, while those in the opposite direction were incompatible. Similarly, flankers matching the target arrows’ direction were classified as congruent, and those pointing in opposite directions as incongruent.
