Experimental procedure. First, the participants performed the Heartbeat Counting Task, with confidence ratings on their performance, followed by the Time Estimation Task, and then completed the MAIA-2 (see “Procedure”). Second, the participants performed the Graphesthesia task without any instruction regarding how they should interpret the letters b, d, p, q, to assess which perspective they spontaneously adopted (Graphesthesia session 1, free spatial perspective). Finally, participants performed a second session (S2) of the Graphesthesia task in which they were instructed to take the perspective indicated on the screen (Graphesthesia session 2, imposed switch spatial perspective). Note that the conditions Egocentred-trunk (ego) and Decentred (dec) are displayed here as an example; but for those participants who had a majority of responses with an Egocentred-head perspective in the second part (Natural), the Egocentred-trunk condition was replaced with the Egocentred-head condition. SPT: spatial perspective-taking.
