Figure 60: Interactions of attentional control with language-based similarity (panel a) and with visual-strength difference (panel b). Attentional control is constrained to deciles (10 sections) in this plot, whereas in the statistical analysis it contained more values within the current range. n = number of participants contained between deciles.

Figure 61: Interaction between stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) and word-concreteness difference. SOA was analysed using z-scores, but for clarity, the basic labels are used in the legend.

Figure 62: Interaction between word-concreteness difference and vocabulary size. Vocabulary size is constrained to deciles in this plot, whereas in the statistical analysis it contained more values within the current range. n = number of participants contained between deciles.

Figure 63: Interaction between word-concreteness difference and gender. Gender was analysed using z-scores, but for clarity, the basic labels are used in the legend. n = number of participants contained between deciles.
