Behavioural data.

<p>Behavioural data.</p

Perceived congruency as modulated by sensory and linguistic l content as delivered through audio guides when viewing painted portraits.

<p>(A) Graphical description of manipulated factors, i. sensory factor: gender of voiceover in the audio guide matched or mismatched to the gender of the sitter in the portrait; ii. linguistic factors: narrative style of audio guide script either in first person or third person as well as a hypothesised hierarchy of congruency. (B) Group mean ratings of perceived congruency according to manipulated factors and by gender of the sitter, portraits of female sitters (left) and male sitters (right). Error bars denote standard error. ** denotes two-tailed significance, p>0.01.</p

Recall elements.

<p>Recall elements.</p

Average recall scores for female sitter and male sitter portraits.

<p>Group mean scores per condition, based on voice over gender (matched vs. mismatched), narrative style (first vs. third person) as well as item content (linguistic vs. sensory) showing greater recall for sensory vs. linguistic content and highest recall scores for first person matched conditions. Error bars denote standard error.</p

Experimental set-up.

<p>Blindfolded participants placed their feet on either side of a mechanical shaker and rested their chin on a chin-rest. They dropped a ball that, unknown to them, fell into a nylon net mounted on a metal frame that silently intercepted the fall of the ball. A piezoelectric transducer attached to the net triggered the audio-tactile feedback simulating the impact of the ball on the floor, after a predetermined delay. A loudspeaker was positioned on the floor beneath the net. White noise was played through two additional loudspeakers placed on the left and right of the participant’s head to mask the weak sound of the ball’s impact onto the net.</p

Mean ratings (± SEM) for the questionnaire items related to body size perception that showed significant differences across conditions.

<p>Asterisks denote significant differences between means (*** denotes p < .005, ** p < .01 and * p < .05). Note that the simulation of the half-height condition failed (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0199354#sec018" target="_blank">Experiment 3: “Validation of simulations”</a>) and thus the results on this condition do not allow inferring conclusions.</p
