On a second task, Figure 8.1 (B), participants were asked to remember a sentence, such as “ A bird in the hand is not in the bush” and, for each word, to indicate whether it was a concrete noun. In this example, the correct responses are “no,yes,no,no,yes,no,yes,no,no,yes.” As with the previous task, sometimes participants responded verbally, and other times they pointed to Y or N on a response sheet. With this task, however, people were faster to respond by pointing than they were to respond verbally (although the difference in response times was not as great).
