Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main study parameters are: a) The average amount of time spent looking at specific loss-related picture-word combinations (deceased + loss-related) in the first 500 ms of exposure; b) The average amount of time spent looking at specific loss-related picture-word combinations (deceased + loss-related) in the 9500 ms after the first 500 ms; c) The average amount of time spent looking at loss-related words in the first 500 ms of exposure; d) The average amount of time spent looking at sloss-related words in the 9500 ms after the first 500 ms.	—
