Adjustment comprised exclusion <strong>of</strong> selective trials to match overall distance between<br />

all stimulus groups. Such an adjustment is important because o<strong>the</strong>rwise compatibility effects<br />

and distance effects are confounded and holistic processing cannot be distinguished from<br />

decomposed processing. Due to this adjustment <strong>the</strong> incompatible probes 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49<br />

as well as <strong>the</strong> compatible probes 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79 were excluded in <strong>the</strong> standard 53<br />

condition. Probes 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 (compatible) and 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 (incompatible)<br />

were omitted from <strong>the</strong> analysis for standard 57. Please note that <strong>the</strong> role <strong>of</strong> problems size was<br />

addressed in <strong>the</strong> ANCOVA and in <strong>the</strong> regression analysis.<br />
