Letters from the heart: Affective categorization of letter combinations in typists and nontypists.

In two experiments, typists and nontypists were compared in affectively evaluating pairs of letter combinations in a forced-choice paradigm. Within each pair, one combination would be typed with the same finger, the other with different fingers.
