{"pk":28938,"title":"Crossmodal Spatial Mappings as a Function of Online Relational Analyses?","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Crossmodal correspondences are innate, language-based and\nstatistically derived. They occur across all sensory systems\nand in different cultures. Despite their multiformity, they are\nexhibited analogously, mainly through robust congruency\neffects. One plausible explanation is that they rely on a\ncommon underlying mechanism, reflecting the fundamental\nability to transfer relational patterns across different domains.\nWe investigated the pitch-height correspondence in a bimodal\nsound-discrimination task, where the context of one relative\nsound pitch was changed online. The intermediate sound\nfrequency was presented in successive blocks with lower or\nhigher equidistant sounds and two squares at fixed up and\ndown vertical positions. Congruency effects were transferred\nacross sound contexts with ease. The results supported the\nassumption about the relational basis of the crossmodal\nassociations. In addition, vertical congruency depended\ncritically on the horizontal spatial representations of sound.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"crossmodal associations; relational mapping;\npitch-height correspondence; SMARC effect"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3bh2h6fv","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Yordanka","middle_name":"","last_name":"Zafirova","name_suffix":"","institution":"New Bulgarian University","department":""},{"first_name":"Yolina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Petrova","name_suffix":"","institution":"New Bulgarian University","department":""},{"first_name":"Georgi","middle_name":"","last_name":"Petkov","name_suffix":"","institution":"New Bulgarian University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2019-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28938/galley/18809/download/"}]}
