software version 3.0.17 running on an HP Pavilion Wave 600 with an Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS operating system. Participants were presented with stimuli at a viewing distance of approximately 60 cm from the 24-in. monitor . The stimulus words were an average of three characters in length, with each character approximately 1 cm × 1 cm in size.
After participants agreed to take part in the experiment, they engaged in eight practice trials. The experimental trials consisted of eight blocks. Each block consisted of a control phase in which participants performed morphological processing and a target phase in which participants performed semantic processing.
In the control phase, participants answered orally whether the nonword stimuli presented on a display were written in"hiragana" or"katakana". Japanese has two phonetic writing styles,"hiragana" and"katakana." All words in Japanese can be written in both hiragana and katakana; however, katakana is mainly used for foreign words.
In the target phase, two words were shown on a display, and participants judged verbally which of objects denoted by the words was physically bigger than the other . We instructed the participants that this task had no correct answer because object sizes are variable; then, we asked participants to judge the size based on their own images.The datasets collected in this study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.Gallese, V. & Lakoff, G.
