Trial Sequence in Block (b), the Online-VAAST. Note. In this trial the target is wearing a mask. In one sub-block, the correct response is an avoidance action (< N > keypress), whereas in the other sub-block, the correct response is an approach action to the same face (< Y > keypress). Participants received feedback for each trial. With correct avoidance responses, the background and the target face appeared to recede (4a), whereas with correct approach responses, the background and the face appeared to get closer (4b). With incorrect responses, participants received an “Error!” message as feedback (4c)
