Your task is to press the good (P) or bad (Q) key^^ on the keyboard depending on the meaning or colour of the word.^^^ If the word is white (i.e., is not coloured) then the meaning of the words is important. For white words, press the^^ good key (P) if the word refers to something positive (e.g., FUNNY). Press the bad key (Q) if the words refers^^ to something negative (e.g., EVIL).^^^ If the word is coloured, then press the good or bad key on the basis of the colour of the word. If the word has^^ a blue-ish colour, press the good key. If the word has a green-ish colour, press the bad key. The colours are quite^^ hard to discriminate, but you will be shown how the colours look like in a moment. Note that the meaning of the coloured^^ words is unimportant and should be ignored.^^^ If you give an incorrect response, a red cross will appear on the screen. Try to respond as quickly but also as accurately as possible.^^^ This experiment will last about 15 minutes. There are two practice blocks and four test blocks.
