Spatial-Numerical and Ordinal Positional Associations Coexist in Parallel.

摘要: There is evidence for a systematic association of numbers and space. A prominent finding supporting this notion the spatial-numerical response codes (SNARC) effect describing relatively faster responses to smaller using left-hand key larger right-hand key. However, assumption SNARC reflecting associations was challenged recently. working memory account proposed suggesting that not per se but their position in memorized sequence associated with Yet, there also first ordinal may be mutually exclusive. In present study, we further examined relationship between effect. We manipulated number items ordered range employed. Results revealed both significant positional order effect, substantiating view effects are exclusive co-exist. Furthermore, found reduced when ranging from 1 10 versus 9 were Thus, our results question pure Additionally, they highlight critical role employed research about
