Please note that the face images and some hand images are only similar to the images we used and not original images. A) Experiment 1. Each category comprised 96 stimuli. Half the hand (I) and feet (II) stimuli pictured a right body part and the other half a left body part. A mix of different viewpoints and orientations were shown. Half of the face stimuli (III) depicted female and the other half male individuals. A wide range of different objects (IV) was presented. B) Experiment 2. Each condition comprised 128 stimuli. The design included two conditions with orientations commonly viewed for one’s own right hand (upwards [I], leftwards [II]) and two orientations which are not typical or uncommon for one’s own right hand (downwards [III], rightwards [IV]). Furthermore, four conditions were incorporated with views of chairs in four different orientations (upwards [V], leftwards [VI], downwards [VII], rightwards [VIII]).
