The effects of spatial stimulus-response compatibility on choice time production accuracy and variability.
نویسنده
چکیده
Five experiments examined the relations between timing and attention using a choice time production task in which the latency of a spatial choice response is matched to a target interval (3 or 5 s). Experiments 1 and 2 indicated that spatial stimulus-response incompatibility increased nonscalar timing variability without affecting timing accuracy and that choice reaction time practice reduced choice time production variability. These data support a "temporal discounting" model in which response choice and timing occur in series, but the interval timed is shortened to account for nontemporal processing. In Experiment 3, feedback and anticipation task demands improved choice time production accuracy. In Experiments 4 and 5, the delay between the start-timing and choice-decision signals interacted with choice difficulty to affect choice time production accuracy and variability when timing a 3- but not a 5-s interval, suggesting that attention mediates timing before and after an interruption in timing.

Temporal stimulus-response compatibility.
The study of element-level stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) has predominantly focused on spatial and symbolic relationships and has involved measures of response time and (dichotomous) error rate. This article explores a new form of SRC that is observed when duration is the relevant feature of both the stimulus and the response, using a more extensive analysis of performance accuracy and v...
متن کاملIs automatic imitation a specialized form of stimulus- response compatibility: dissociating imitative and spatial compatibility
In recent years research on automatic imitation has received considerable attention because it represents an experimental platform for investigating a number of inter-related theories suggesting that the perception of action automatically activates corresponding motor programs. A key debate within this research centers on whether automatic imitation is any different than other long-term S-R ass...

متن کاملResponse choice in Parkinson's disease. The effects of uncertainty and stimulus-response compatibility.
Reaction time paradigms provide a set of methods for assessing aspects of the planning and execution of voluntary movements in Parkinson's disease. Attention has focused mainly on the issue of programming of responses, employing a combination of simple reaction time (SRT) and choice reaction time (CRT) paradigms. The first part of the present study replicated an earlier finding in which patient...
