- In addition to the nosognosia task, our participants also completed a lexical decision analogue of this task. All parameters were as for the nosognosia task, except that i) non-target trials involved the presentation of two (different) non-words and target trials involved the presentation of a non-word alongside a real word; ii) the target stimuli (real words) were not split into two categories (cf. the nosognosia task where target stimuli were either harmless or harmful illnesses); and iii) stimuli always consisted of four letters, whereas in the nosognosia task they varied between four and seven letters.
