From: Chinese characters reveal impacts of prior experience on very early stages of perception

Figure 1

Rationale of the experiment. Chinese and German participants have different perceptual priors in a backward masking task with Chinese characters. While for German observers, one arbitrary geometrical object is followed by another, Chinese participants will perceive an object substitution of a meaningful target object by a meaningful mask object. Will the different priors have an influence on the visual time course already immediately after the ultrashort stimulus presentations?
