“…Mudd, 1963;Roffler & Butler, 1968) was that participants were explicitly instructed to estimate the spatial position of sounds. For example, Mudd (1963) tested pitch height for "associative spatial stereotype", following Fitts and Deininger (1954) who had defined the operational measurement of population stereotype as the determination of the relative frequency with which each permissible response is made to a stimulus, when instructions do not specify what response is considered as appropriate. On each trial, Mudd's participants listened to two stimuli of different frequency.…”

“…In speeded choice reaction tasks, whenever dimensional overlap occurs between stimuli and responses, the mapping of stimuli to responses influences speed and accuracy of performance (Kornblum, Hasbroucq, & Osman, 1990), a phenomenon known as stimulus-response compatibility (SRC), and which has been a matter of relevant interest both in ergonomics and in experimental psychology since the pioneering studies of Fitts and colleagues (Fitts & Deininger, 1954;Fitts & Seeger, 1953). Dimensional overlap between stimuli and responses can occur in their spatial location, so that stimuli appearing on the right are responded to faster with a right than a left response key (Fig.…”

Spatial representation of pitch height: the SMARC effect

Through the preferential pairing of response positions to pitch, here we show that the internal representation of pitch height is spatial in nature and affects performance, especially in musically trained participants, when response alternatives are either vertically or horizontally aligned. The finding that our cognitive system maps pitch height onto an internal representation of space, which in turn affects motor performance even when this perceptual attribute is irrelevant to the task, extends previous studies on auditory perception and suggests an interesting analogy between music perception and mathematical cognition. Both the basic elements of mathematical cognition (i.e. numbers) and the basic elements of musical cognition (i.e. pitches), appear to be mapped onto a mental spatial representation in a way that affects motor performance. q

“…It is also possible to think of the effects of modalitypairings in terms of set-level compatibility (see Fitts & Deininger, 1954;Kornblum, Hasbroucq, & Oman, 1990). Set-level compatibility refers to the benefits (or costs) in performance associated with the mapping of one set of stimuli to one set of responses, regardless of the specific mappings of individual stimuli to individual responses (i.e., element-level compatibility).…”

Effects of dimensional overlap between stimuli and responses on partial response activation were investigated within a priming paradigm with the help of event-related potentials. The likely position of a target stimulus (requiring a left or a right reaction) was indicated by an arrow precue. To test whether automatic response activation processes are triggered by the cue, the lateralized readiness potential was computed. It was found that responses congruent to the direction of the cue were activated about 200 ms after cue onset. This early process was unaffected by specific cue-response contingencies and was completely missing when a nonspatial (color) cue was used. A second response activation phase was observed, which was partially controlled by specific response instructions and subjective expectancies. It is concluded that when stimuli and responses overlap with respect to spatial attributes, automatic response activation processes are triggered, which may later be replaced by the activation of an expected response.
