TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - Timesharing, ideomotor compatibility, and automaticity JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Greenwald, Anthony G. SP - 431 EP - 432 VL - 23 IS - 1 N2 - This research concerns timesharing, the simultaneous performance of decision responses, and ideomotor (IM) compatibility, an arrangement in which the stimuli for a decision task resemble closely the stimuli generated as feedback from performing their required responses (Greenwald, 1970). (An illustration of IM compatibility is saying a word in response to hearing it.) IM compatibility is a special case of stimulus-response (S-R) compatibility, which is the more general category of task arrangements in which stimulus-response assignments are such as to facilitate the choice process. The present research explored the special characteristics of IM compatibility by examining timesharing efficiency for S-R compatible tasks that possess IM compatibility and ones that lack it.
