After the cue was presented, the fixation cross remained in the center of the screen for 1,000 ms. Then the four letters appeared on the screen and remained until participants responded. The participants were told to indicate whether a capital “B” or “F” was present by pressing the “z” key or “/” key, respectively. They were instructed to respond as quickly and accurately as possible. Following their response, there was an intertrial interval consisting of a 500-ms blank black screen. No feedback was provided. Participants completed 720 trials total; 50% of the trials were ignore trials, and 50% were neutral trials, randomly intermixed. Experimental sessions lasted 60 to 75 min.
