TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Localizing modality compatibility effects: evidence from dual-task interference JO - Journal of experimental psychology: human perception and performance A1 - Wirth, Robert A1 - Koch, Iring A1 - Kunde, Wilfried SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Performance is typically superior with modality-compatible stimulus-response sets (e.g., responding vocally to auditory stimuli and manually to visual stimuli) than with modality-incompatible sets (e.g., responding vocally to visual stimuli and manually to auditory stimuli). Here we studied the information-processing stage at which these modality compatibility effects arise. In three experiments using a dual-task setup, we demonstrated that these compatibility effects arose (at least partly) prior to a capacity-limited central stage that is commonly believed to be the origin of dual-task costs. We suggest that demands to employ a specific effector system bias perceptual processing toward effector-compatible stimulus modalities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
