Using the magnitude comparison task, the current study tested verbal-spatial and visuospatial coding accounts by comparing the spatial-numerical association of response codes effect in 30 Chinese-speaking and 60 bilingual Uighur Chinese participants. The experimental tasks were presented using Chinese words for 30 Chinese-speaking and 30 bilingual Uighur Chinese participants, while only Uighur words were presented to the remaining 30 bilingual Uighur Chinese participants. Overall, the results of the current study showed that verbal-spatial coding could be applied to the experimental task when presented using Chinese words, but visuospatial coding could be applied to the experimental task when presented using Uighur words. The findings demonstrated that spatial coding was flexible and depended upon the language context in which the experimental task was presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
