Average values of RTs (A) and mean percentage of errors (B) recorded when participants responded after reading neutral or negative valence arm/hand-related verbs and neutral leg/foot-related verbs at a stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) of 53.2 ms or 332.5 ms. See text for details of statistical analysis.
