Location Coding of Tool-Object Pairs Based on Perceptual Grouping: Evidence from Object-Based Correspondence Effect.

ABSTRACT: Motor interactions with single, as well as pairs of objects can be automatically affected by visual asymmetries provided by protruding parts, whether the handle or not. Faster and more accurate performance is typically produced when task-defined responses correspond to the location of such protruding parts, relative to when they do not correspond (i.e., object-based spatial correspondence effects). In two experiments we investigated the mechanisms that underlie the spatial coding of tool-object pairs when semantic and action alignment relationships were orthogonally combined. Centrally presented pictures of "active" tools (depicted as potentially performing their proper action) were paired, on one side, to a "passive" object (target of the tool action). We observed S-R correspondence effec
