Declarations
:
: On behalf of all authors, the corresponding author states that there is no conflict of interests.
: The experimental procedure was approved by the ethical committee of the Psychological Sciences Research Institute at UCLouvain (B403201629166). Moreover, as indicated in the method section of our paper, we followed scrupulously the ethical principles proposed by the Helsinki declaration of the World Medical Association. Participants were major (> 18 in Belgium) (Principle 19). The data was collected and stored under randomly assigned numbers to preserve anonymity and confidentiality (Principle 9–24). There was no risk linked with the experiments as it was a short number comparison task on a desktop (max 30 min); however, participants were monetarily compensated for their time (Principle 14-15-16-17-18). Participants were systematically invited to give their written informed consent prior to the experiment The informed consent document contained all the information about the experiment being done (length, presence of the eye-tracker, number comparison task), information about the anonymity and confidentiality of the data, and the information that the consent could be retracted without prejudice. In this last case, participants were informed in the consent that they were free to leave at any time and that they could keep the full amount of the monetary compensation (Principle 26-27-31).
: Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.
