我们报告了两个实验，在这些实验中，参与者通过指向左边的红色方块或右边的绿色方块，根据其典型的红色或绿色来分类目标单词（例如，BLOOD或CUCUMBER）。参与者不知道的是，目标词前面有启动词“红”或“绿”。我们发现，参与者的指向轨迹的曲率在不一致的启动（绿血）下比在一致的启动下更大，这表明个体在启动启动的基础上产生了反应，然后在飞行过程中纠正了反应。这一发现表明，隐藏的正字法刺激的处理延伸到包括一个明显的手动反应的制定。
We report two experiments in which participants categorized target words (e. g., BLOOD or CUCUMBER) according to their canonical colour of red or green by pointing to a red square on the left or a green square on the right. Unbeknownst to the participants, the target words were preceded by the prime words "red'' or "green''. We found that the curvature of participants' pointing trajectories was greater following incongruent primes (green-BLOOD) than it was following congruent primes, indicating that individuals initiated a response on the basis of the prime and then corrected that response mid-flight. This finding establishes that the processing of masked orthographic stimuli extends down to include the formulation of an overt manual response.
