The Effect of Response Mode on the Space-Time Congruency Effect

Abstract

Abstract: In this study, we examined whether response mode could affect the space-time congruency effect by three behavioral experiments. The results showed that in the front-back and up-down directions, the response mode affected the direction of the space-time congruency effect. The button reaction activated the past/backward/down and future/forward/up congruency effects, and the verbal reaction activated the past/forward/up and future/backward/down congruency effects. However, in the left-right direction, the response mode did not affect the direction of the space-time congruency effect, and both the past/left and future/right congruency effects were activated. Analysis of the effect size in three directions revealed that the effect size in the left-right direction was the largest, and the effect size in the up-down direction was the smallest. The relationship between time and space would be influenced by the response mode, language habits and directions, supporting the theory of metaphorical structuring view. Chinese subjects' representation of the concept of time combined propositional symbols and perceptual symbols.

Key words: space-time congruency effect, response mode, mental timeline

摘要： 通过3个实验探讨口头和按键反应对汉语被试时间空间一致性效应的影响。结果发现，在前后和上下方向，反应模式会影响时间空间一致性效应的方向，按键反应激活了过去/后/下，未来/前/上的一致性效应，口头反应激活了过去/前/上，未来/后/下的一致性效应；但是在左右方向，反应模式不会影响时间空间一致性效应的方向（过去/左，未来/右）。对3个方向的效应量的分析发现，左右方向的效应量最大，上下方向的效应量最小。时间和空间的关系受反应模式、语言习惯以及方向的影响，支持隐喻构念观理论。汉语被试对时间概念的表征综合了命题符号和知觉符号。
