Spatial S–R compatibility: positional instruction vs. compatibility instruction
Abstract
Subjects had to perform both in a classical spatial compatibility experiment where they were instructed to press a right or left button to a right or left stimulus ('positional instruction'), and in a variant, where they had to give a spatially compatible or incompatible response depending on the color of the stimulus ('compatibility instruction'). The result shows the normal advantage of compatible over incompatible responses for the experiment with positional instruction whereas the spatial compatibility effect completely disappeared for the experiment with compatibility instruction. This supports a translation hypothesis and speaks against an automatic activation hypothesis of spatial stimulus-response compatibility.

When the required mapping is known before the stimulus, the automatic response route is suppressed selectively for incompatible trials, so compatible trials have a speed advantage.
“In the alternative, more common scenario—when the required mapping is known before the stimulus—the automatic response route is suppressed selectively for incompatible trials, so that compatible trials have a speed advantage due to automatic response activation (Shaffer, 1965; Heister and Schroeder-Heister, 1994; De Jong, 1995; Vu and Proctor, 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
