A recent cross-cultural comparison (Shaki, Fischer, & Petrusic, 2009) suggested that spatially consistent processing habits for words and numbers are a necessary condition for the spatial representation of numbers (Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes; SNARC effect). Here we reexamine the SNARC in Israelis who read text from right to left but numbers from left to right. We show that, despite these spatially inconsistent processing habits, a SNARC effect still emerges when the response dimension is spatially orthogonal to the conflicting processing dimension. These results clarify the cognitive conditions for spatial-numerical mappings.
最近的跨文化比较（Shaki、Fischer 和 Petrusic，2009）表明，对于单词和数字的空间一致的处理习惯是数字的空间表示（空间-数字反应代码关联；SNARC 效应）的必要条件。在这里，我们重新检查了阅读习惯从右至左但数字从左至右的以色列人的 SNARC。我们表明，尽管存在这种空间不一致的处理习惯，但当反应维度与冲突处理维度在空间上正交时，仍然会出现 SNARC 效应。这些结果澄清了空间-数字映射的认知条件。
