Reconciling the Neurophysiological and Cognitive Theories of Stimulus-Response Spatial Compatibility Effects: A Visual-Motor Dissociation Approach.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the differential impact of two visual dimensions (direction and spatial location) in two spatial Stroop tasks, where the relevant dimension for the response varied. Three studies compared the interactions between spatial compatibility and congruence effects on reaction time performances to infer how the dorsal pathway (DP) and ventral pathway (VP) of visual processing interfered with one another in processing relevant and irrelevant spatial information. This allowed us to bridge neurophysiological mechanisms with dual-process models of spatial compatibility. The participants responded from an avatar's perspective, manipulated through rotations relative to the forward position, along with independent rotations of the avatar's screen and keyboard. The results revealed
