Social interference task. A) Distractors were briefly flashed (67 ms) during performance of a simple visually-guided saccade task. Distractors could be in 3 spatial locations relative to the target-congruent, incongruent, or a neutral position outside the plane of possible targets. In addition, distractors could be flashed in 1 of these 3 locations during the ITI. B) Distractor images could either be rhesus monkey faces or phase-scrambled versions of the same images. C) Distractors interfered with response times according to both target congruence and social content.
