Participants were instructed to make a different design in each square by connecting dots, always using straight lines. Participants could lift the pen from the page; that is, the designs did not have to be made with one, continuous stroke. They were told that the designs should be drawn using only four straight lines to connect the dots and that each line had to touch at least one other line at a dot. The examiner demonstrated this last rule by drawing two lines that met at a dot. Participants were told that the lines could cross each other in the design and that it did not matter whether or not the designs could be named; In the switch condition, the arrays again consisted of five filled and five empty dots, although the dots were arranged differently from the filter condition. In this switch condition, participants were asked to draw designs by switching back and forth between connecting empty and filled dots. They were told that they could begin either with an empty or a filled dot.
