n = 20 in each experiment. Y-axis denotes reaction time, and X-axis denotes congruent and incongruent conditions between the subliminal prime and supraliminal target (CON: congruent; INCON: incongruent; Non-Stroop/Stroop denotes whether target word was a Non-Stroop or Stroop word). A/B, a three- way interaction among word/color congruency and target Stroop, showing double incongruency slowed down responses only when target was not a Stroop word. C~E, reaction time of word congruent and incongruent conditions in all trials (C), 1st quarter trials (D), and the 4th quarter trials (E) in Experiment 2. Black dots and lines denote longer RT in the incongruent condition while gray dots and lines denote longer RT in the congruent condition. Each pair of dots represents one participant. The bars denote group mean with the error bars indicating standard error of the mean (SEM). Asterisk denotes significance (A: Exp 1: p = 0.02 (post hoc 2-tailed paired t test); E: Exp 2 4th quarter trials: p =0.04 (a main effect in a three-way ANOVA)).
