Schematic illustrations of the RSVP sequences in the (a) Picture experiment (pictures for the critical and irrelevant items were chosen from Wang’s53 study, and a written permission to use the object contour pictures shown here has been granted by Chinese Journal of Psychology) (b) Word-General experiment/one-character word condition (c) Word-General experiment/two-character word condition, and (d) Pictograph-Sentence experiment.
