Bad–good constraints on a polarity correspondence account for the spatial–numerical association of response codes (SNARC) and markedness association of response codes (MARC) effects

摘要: Performance in numerical classification tasks involving either parity or magnitude judgements is quicker when small numbers are mapped onto a left-sided response and large right-sided than for the opposite mapping (i.e., spatial–numerical association of codes SNARC effect). Recent research by Gevers et al. [Gevers, W., Santens, S., Dhooge, E., Chen, Q., Van den Bossche, L., Fias, & Verguts, T. (2010). Verbal-spatial visuospatial coding number–space interactions. Journal Experimental Psychology: General, 139, 180–190] suggests that this effect also arises vocal “left” “right” responding, indicating verbal–spatial has role to play determining it. Another presumably verbal-based, phenomenon linguistic markedness (MARC) whereby responding odd responses even responses. ...
