TL;DR
The experimental results point to the need to separate the effects of these three relationships which are typically confounded in studies of spatial compatibility.
Abstract
A visual, two-choice RT experiment was performed to assess the effect upon performance of compatibility of three spatial relationships: (1) between signals and response mechanisms, (2) between signals and effector positions, (3) between response mechanisms and effector positions. The data support the interpretation that, in this particular experimental situation, only the compatibility of relationships (1) and (3) affect performance. More generally, the experimental results point to the need to separate the effects of these three relationships which are typically confounded in studies of spatial compatibility.
