The present study evaluated the role of compatibility effects in the precuing of arm and direction parameters. In the first two experiments different stimulus and response arrangements were examined. For all three experiments the spatial precue and imperative stimuli were compatibly assigned to responses (i.e., a direct correspondence existed between the stimulus and response locations). Experiments 1 and 2 indirectly tested the effect of decision processes required by the stimulus-response set. Experiment 1 replicated previous research that has found longer reaction times for the direction uncertain parameter as compared to arm uncertain. Experiment 2 examined the precuing of arm and direction parameters with stimuli that maintained right-left arrangements for both parameters. Unlike Experiment 1, reaction times did not differ for precuing the two movement parameters. Experiment 3 directly examined the effect of differential decision requirements from up-down spatial stimuli and right-left spatial stimuli for a single parameter. In support of results from the first two experiments, results indicated longer reaction times for decisions from up-down stimuli as compared to right-left stimuli. Because reaction times for precued movement parameters are a function of the stimulus and response arrangements used, differences in reaction times are most likely due to compatibility effects arising from differences in the spatial arrangements of the precued stimulus and response set.
本研究评估了兼容性效应在手臂和方向参数预提示中的作用。在前两个实验中，研究了不同的刺激和反应安排。在所有三个实验中，空间预提示和指令性刺激都被一致地分配给反应（即，刺激和反应位置之间存在直接对应关系）。实验1和2间接测试了刺激 - 反应集所需决策过程的影响。实验1重复了先前的研究，该研究发现与手臂不确定性相比，方向不确定性参数的反应时间更长。实验2使用对两个参数都保持左右排列的刺激来研究手臂和方向参数的预提示。与实验1不同，对两个运动参数进行预提示时反应时间没有差异。实验3直接研究了来自上下空间刺激和左右空间刺激对单个参数的不同决策要求的影响。与前两个实验的结果一致，结果表明与左右刺激相比，来自上下刺激的决策反应时间更长。由于预提示运动参数的反应时间是所用刺激和反应安排的函数，反应时间的差异很可能是由于预提示刺激和反应集的空间排列差异产生的兼容性效应。
