You are now beginning the main part of the experiment.
Just as in the first part of the experiment, you will be reporting the direction that the target was turned at the end of each trial using the "m" and "n" keys - pressing the "m" key if the target is turned clockwise (i.e. to the right) and the "n" key if the target is turned counterclockwise (i.e. to the left). Note: You are still not reporting the location of the target, but instead it's direction of rotation. As a reminder, here is an example of a target turned counterclockwise (on the left) and clockwise (on the right):
The best strategy to ensure that you maximize your task accuracy is still to keep your eyes on the tiny circle in the center of the screen.
Additionally, you will now be asked to rate how vividly you experienced the target after reporting which direction you think the target was turned. You will do this by pressing one of the number keys at the top of your keyboard. Here is the scale that you'll be using:
How vivid was your experience of the target?
Press the "1" key if no impression of the stimulus is experienced.
Press the "2" key if you had a feeling that something was present, even though content cannot be specified any further.
Press the "3" key if you had a feeling of having seen the target but being only somewhat sure about it.
Press the "4" key if you had a nonambiguous (clear) experience of the target.
You will perform 7 blocks. At the end of the experiment, you will be asked to complete a short demographic questionnaire. You will get the opportunity to give some feedback. Thank you for participating!
