Effect anticipation affects perceptual, cognitive, and motor phases of response preparation: evidence from an event-related potential (ERP) study [PDF]
The anticipation of action effects is a basic process that can be observed even for key-pressing responses in a stimulus-response paradigm. In Ziessler, Nattkemper and Vogt’s (2012) experiments participants first learned arbitrary effects of key-pressing

Contrasting motivational orientation and evaluative coding accounts: On the need to differentiate the effectors of approach/avoidance responses [PDF]
Several emotion theorists suggest that valenced stimuli automatically trigger motivational orientations and thereby facilitate corresponding behavior. Positive stimuli were thought to activate approach motivational circuits which in turn primed approach ...

Affective compatibility between stimuli and response goals: a primer for a new implicit measure of attitudes [PDF]
We examined whether a voluntary response becomes associated with the (affective) meaning of intended response effects. Four experiments revealed that coupling a keypress with positive or negative consequences produces affective compatibility effects when

Multi-sensory feedback improves spatially compatible sensori-motor responses
To interact with machines, from computers to cars, we need to monitor multiple sensory stimuli, and respond to them with specific motor actions. It has been shown that our ability to react to a sensory stimulus is dependent on both the stimulus modality,

Compatibility effects with destination and origin of motion.
Previous studies highlighted spatial compatibility effects other than those strictly arising from stimulus-response locations. In particular, the so-called Destination Compatibility (DC) effect refers to faster responses for dynamic (i.e., moving ...

Dissociable effects of averted “gaze” on the priming of bodily representations and motor actions
Gaze direction is an important stimulus that signals key details about social (dis)engagement and objects in our physical environment. Here, we explore how gaze direction influences the perceiver's processing of bodily information.

The Nature of Associations between Physical Stimulus Size and Left-Right Response Codes
In two-choice response tasks, participants respond faster and more accurate with the left hand to a small stimulus and with the right hand to a large stimulus as compared to the reverse assignment.

Negative priming and stimulus-response compatibility [PDF]
The subjects in this study made incongruent naming responses to words and pictures that were presented on alternate trials (e.g., say "car" toBIKE). Their response time was longer if the correct response for the current trial was the name of the stimulus presented on the preceding trial, as compared with a control condition.

Does Perceptual Simulation Explain Spatial Effects in Word Categorization?
In three experiments we investigated the origin of the effects of the compatibility between the typical location of entities denoted by written words (e.g., “up” for eagle and “down” for carpet) and either the actual position of the words on the screen ...

Flowers and Spiders in Spatial Stimulus-Response Compatibility: Does Affective Valence Influence Selection of Task-Sets or Selection of Responses? [PDF]
The present study examined the effect of stimulus valence on two levels of selection in the cognitive system, selection of a task-set and selection of a response. In the first experiment, participants performed a spatial compatibility task (pressing left
