Spatial compatibility interference effects: a double dissociation between two measures

Spatial compatibility interference effects: a double dissociation between two measures

In spatial compatibility tasks, when the spatial location of a stimulus is irrelevant it nevertheless interferes when a response is required in a different spatial location. For example, response with a left key-press is slowed when the stimulus is presented to the right as compared to the left side of a computer screen. However, in some conditions this interference effect is not detected in re...

On A Comparison between Two Measures of Spatial Association

Differential relationships between RAN performance, behaviour ratings, and executive function measures: Searching for a double dissociation

In this study, we investigated the relationships between rapid naming of letters, digits and colours, and reading ability and executive function. We gave fifty-six grade three and four children rapid automatised naming tasks using letters and digits as stimuli, executive function measures including the Stroop task, a working memory task and the Trailmaking B task. The latter three tasks were us...

A double dissociation between linguistic and perceptual representations of spatial relationships.

This paper explores from a neuropsychological perspective the relation between the meanings of English locative prepositions (e.g., in, on, above, below) and the kinds of representations that are used for many visuospatial processes such as recognising, drawing, and constructing spatially complex objects. One possibility that has been proposed by some psycholinguists is that the meanings of pre...

Two cases of complex A-V interference-dissociation.

Case 1. An 18-year-old office worker, male, was admitted to our Clinic on Oct. 7, 1961, with the chief complaints of bradycardia and attacks of vertigo. He has a history of severe suppuration in the right arm at the age of 3 years, after which bradycardia (40 to 50 per min.) has been noticed. Since 16 years of age occasional attacks of vertigo and headache lasting several minutes occurred, acco...
