H. Stimuli 1. Two-dimensional i. Drawings and images ii. Abstract patterns iii. Videos 2. Three-dimensional i. Objects: material entities that have not been built to fulfil a particular purpose but can be easily recognised by members of a community (e.g., a piece of mass, geometric shapes of various materials) ii. Artefacts: material entities constructed by a certain technique to fulfil a culturally determined canonical purpose (e.g., a spoon or a ballpoint pen). iii. Object, artefact and living beings replicas: material entities (usually small) that exactly reproduce the characteristics of an object/artefact or living being (e.g., a toy horse, a toy spoon). iv. Non-objects: material entities that resemble an object or artefact but would not be accepted as such by members of a community (e.g., stimuli constructed by experimenters manipulating different dimensions of materiality). 3.
