{"pk":28155,"title":"Do Pitch and Space Share Common Code?: Role of feedback on SPARC effect","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Previous research shows that performance is better when a highpitch is responded with up or right responses and a low pitch isresponded with down or left responses, called the spatial-pitchassociation of response codes (SPARC) effect. Despite the in-tuitive coupling of perception-action, studies investigating theSPARC effect have, however, used feedback to manipulate thestimulus-response mapping. Feedback contradicts the purposeof intuitive stimulus-response mapping by enabling short-termlearning. This study primarily investigates the role of feedbackon SPARC effect. We believe that feedback can facilitate in-congruent mapping and can, therefore, reduce the cost betweenincongruent and congruent mapping resulting in a diminishedSPARC effect. Our results, however, show that feedback hasno influence on the SPARC effect indicating that long-termassociations can not be overcome by short-term learning dueto robust perception-action coupling. Further, unlike previousstudies, we observed a strong horizontal SPARC effect in non-musicians as well.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"response selection"},{"word":"stimulus-response compat-ibility"},{"word":"cross-modal correspondence"},{"word":"pitch-space mapping"},{"word":"SPARC effect"},{"word":"Feedback"},{"word":"dimensional overlap"},{"word":"automaticity"},{"word":"dual-route model"}],"section":"Publication-based-Talks","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6vt5k11z","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Pulkit","middle_name":"","last_name":"Singhal","name_suffix":"","institution":"International Institute of Information Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"Aditya","middle_name":"","last_name":"Agarwala","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tata Institute of Social Science","department":""},{"first_name":"Priyanka","middle_name":"","last_name":"Srivastava","name_suffix":"","institution":"International Institute of Information Technology","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28155/galley/17814/download/"}]}
