Visual representation of the RSVP task used in Experiment 2. Participants viewed a stream of words presented at a rate of 117 ms per word with a fruit target words and a critical distractor preceding the target. Following each trial, participants entered the fruit word they saw using their keyboard. The right side of the figure shows examples of critical distractors from the COVID, taboo, and neutral valence conditions. The trial stream here depicts a COVID lag 2 trial.
