Sequence of events within trials in the affective priming experiment. Participants were instructed to view a series of faces and evaluate the expressions as negative or positive on a six-point scale ranging from −2.5 to +2.5 by pressing a button on the keyboard. In our example, a trial with an angry prime face is shown. Faces were accessed from the Pictures of Facial Affect database provided by Ekman and Friesen [30].
