In 2011, van Dijck and Fias described a positional SNARC (Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes) effect: the SPoARC (Spatial-Positional Association of Response Codes). To-be-remembered items (e.g., numbers, words) presented centrally on a screen seemed to acquire a left-to-right spatial dimension. If confirmed, this spatialization could be crucial for immediate memory theories. However, given the intricate links between visual and spatial dimensions, this effect could be due to the visual presentation (on a computer screen), which could have probed the left-to-right direction of reading/writing. To allow a generalization of this effect, we adapted van Dijck and Fias's (2011) task using an auditory version of Sternberg's paradigm. Lists of five consonants were auditorily presented at a rate of 3 s/item. A SPoARC effect was observed. The consequences are discussed first from an immediate memory perspective, putting forward the view that order could be coded through spatialization, and then in terms of similarities between SPoARC and SNARC.
2011年，范·迪克和菲亚斯描述了一种位置性SNARC（反应编码的空间-数字关联）效应：即SPoARC（反应编码的空间-位置关联）效应。屏幕中央呈现的待记忆项目（如数字、单词）似乎获得了从左到右的空间维度。如果得到证实，这种空间化对于即时记忆理论可能至关重要。然而，鉴于视觉维度和空间维度之间存在复杂的联系，这种效应可能是由于视觉呈现（在电脑屏幕上）导致的，因为这可能探测到了阅读/书写的从左到右的方向。为了使这种效应具有普遍性，我们采用了斯特恩伯格范式的听觉版本对范·迪克和菲亚斯（2011年）的任务进行了改编。以每秒3个项目的速度听觉呈现由五个辅音组成的列表。观察到了SPoARC效应。首先从即时记忆的角度讨论了其后果，提出了顺序可以通过空间化进行编码的观点，然后讨论了SPoARC和SNARC之间的相似之处。
