Shaki, Samuel; Fischer, Martin H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
A recent cross-cultural comparison (Shaki, Fischer, & Petrusic, 2009) suggested that spatially consistent processing habits for words and numbers are a necessary condition for the spatial representation of numbers (Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes; SNARC effect). Here we reexamine the SNARC in Israelis who read text from right…

Massen, Cristina; Prinz, Wolfgang – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
When humans plan to execute a tool-use action, they can only specify the bodily movement parameters by taking into account the external target or goal of the tool-use action and the target-movement mapping implemented by the tool. In this study, the authors used the movement precuing method to investigate how people prepare for actions made with…

Fournier, Lisa R.; Herbert, Rhonda J.; Farris, Carrie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2004
This study examined how response mapping of features within single- and multiple-feature targets affects decision-based processing and attentional capacity demands. Observers judged the presence or absence of 1 or 2 target features within an object either presented alone or with distractors. Judging the presence of 2 features relative to the less…

Miller, Jeff; Alderton, Mark – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Bottleneck models of psychological refractory period (PRP) tasks suggest that a Task 1 response should be unaffected by the Task 2 response in the same trial, because selection of the former finishes before selection of the latter begins. Contrary to this conception, the authors found backward response-level crosstalk effects in which Task 2…
