Perceiving Musical Note Values Causes Spatial Shift of Attention in Musicians
(MDPI, 2017-06-07)
The Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) suggests the existence of an association between number magnitude and response position, with faster left-key responses to small numbers and faster right-key ...
Separate Mechanisms for Magnitude and Order Processing in the Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) Effect: The Strange Case of Musical Note Values
(American Psychological Association, 2016)
The SNARC effect is considered an evidence of the association between numbers and space, with faster left key-press responses to small numbers and faster right key-press responses to large numbers. We examined whether ...
Loudness, but not shot power, influences simple reaction times to soccer penalty sounds
(Drustvo psihologa Srbije, 2018)
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate how ecological sport sounds (i.e., foot-ball impacts of soccer penalty kicks) affect simple reaction times. Design: Three within-subjects, simple reaction time ...
Perceptual belongingness determines the direction of lightness induction depending on grouping stability and intentionality
(Elsevier, 2016-05-30)
Contrast and assimilation are two opposite perceptual phenomena deriving from the relationships among perceptual elements in a visual field. In contrast, perceptual differences are enhanced; while, in assimilation, they ...
SNARC-like compatibility effects for physical and phenomenal magnitudes: A study on visual illusions
(Springer, 2018-12-03)
Both numerical and non-numerical magnitudes elicit similar Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effects, with small magnitudes associated with left hand responses and large magnitudes associated with ...
Walking during the encoding of described environments enhances a heading-independent spatial representation
(Elsevier, 2017-08-12)
Previous studies demonstrated that physical movement enhanced spatial updating in described environments.
However, those movements were executed only after the encoding of the environment, minimally affecting the
development ...
Ecological sounds affect breath duration more than artificial sounds
(Springer, 2015-01-31)
Previous research has demonstrated that auditory
rhythms affect both movement and physiological
functions. We hypothesized that the ecological sounds of
human breathing can affect breathing more than artificial
sounds ...
Linear representation of pitch height in the SMARC effect
(Psychological topics, 2018)
The Spatial-Musical Association of Response Codes (SMARC) effect consists in faster and more accurate responses to low (vs. high) pitched tones when they are executed in the bottom/left (vs. top/right) space. This phenomenon ...
Emotional Semantic Congruency based on stimulus driven comparative judgements
(Elsevier, 2019-04-22)
A common cognitive process in everyday life consists in the comparative judgements of emotions given a pair of facial expressions and the choice of the most positive/negative among them. Results from three experiments on ...
The contribution of early auditory and visual information to the discrimination of shot power in ball sports
(Elsevier, 2017-04-05)
Objective: It is well-established that early visual information has an important role in human ability to play ball sports, as its correct interpretation promotes accurate predictions concerning the ball motion. Other ...
