Functional relations modulate the responsiveness to affordances despite the impact of conflicting stimulus-response mappings [PDF]
, 2017 The study investigated how conflicting stimulus-response mappings influenced affordance processing given a manipulation of the functional relations. Participants performed a task involving consistent-inconsistent stimulus-response mappings: Implicit ...

Can sign language make you better at hand processing? [PDF]
, 2018 The languages developed by deaf communities are unique for using visual signs produced by the hand. In the present study, we explored the cognitive effects of employing the hand as articulator.

Grasping the concept of personal property. [PDF]
, 2011 The concept of property is integral to personal and societal development, yet understanding of the cognitive basis of ownership is limited. Objects are the most basic form of property, so our physical interactions with owned objects may elucidate nuanced

Auditory Distractors in the Visual Modality: No Evidence for Perceptual Load Hypothesis or Auditory Dominance [PDF]
, 2020 Attention is a valuable resource with limited capacity, so knowing what will distract us during important tasks can be crucial in life. There is a lot of support for the Perceptual Load Hypothesis (PLH) when examining visual distractibility; however,

Is social categorization spatially organized in a “Mental Line”? Empirical evidences for spatial bias in intergroup differentiation [PDF]
, 2018 Social categorization is the differentiation between the self and others and between one’s own group and other groups and it is such a natural and spontaneous process that often we are not aware of it.

Stimulus–response compatibility and affective computing: a review [PDF]
Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science, 2007 Affective computing, a human–factors effort to investigate the merits of emotions while people are working with human–computer interfaces, is gaining momentum. Measures to quantify affect (or its influences) range from EEG, to measurements of autonomic–nervous–system responses (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure), to less objective self–reports.

Methodological issues in measures of imitative reaction times [PDF]
, 2007 Ideomotor (IM) theory suggests that observing someone else perform an action activates an internal motor representation of that behaviour within the observer.

Need for space: the key distance effect depends on spatial stimulus configurations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In numerous psychological experiments, participants classify stimuli by pressing response keys. According to Lakens, Schneider, Jostmann, and Schubert (2011), classification performance is affected by physical distance between response keys--indicating a

Stimulus-response compatibility affects auditory Stroop interference [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1983 The contribution of stimulus-response compatibility to Stroop interference was tested in an auditory version of the Stroop test. The words “high” and “low” were presented in high and low pitches with either the pitch or the word designated as the relevant dimension.
