Thank you for participating in this study! Your main task will be to hit the spacebar every time you see an enemy (shown below).

Half of the time it will be easy to spot an enemy because some friendly uniforms are dissimilar to enemy uniforms.

However, the other half of the time it will be hard to spot an enemy because some friendly uniforms are similar to enemy uniforms.

As you can see, each character has the same pose. During the trial, characters will rapidly change pose in the center of the screen, so make sure to pay close attention to the uniforms so you can react quickly when a target appears.

Sometimes when you are performing this task, a digit will flash somewhere on the screen. After it flashes, you will be asked to report what, if any, digit you saw.

You will now have the opportunity to practice on several trials that have been slowed down. Keep in mind that in the actual experiment, characters will change pose more rapidly, and there will be no callout to help you identify targets. Press 'Next' to begin the practice.

You are now ready! Click 'Begin Experiment' to start the experiment. Alternatively, you may go back to re-read the Instructions by clicking 'Back to Instructions,' or run through a practice set again by clicking 'Practice Again.'
