In the first part of this article, I argue that the IAT is structurally similar to stimulus response compatibility tasks.
For example, it could be expected that patients with Early Parkinson's Disease (ePD, a disease that mainly affects subcortical motor structures) and also patients with early Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (eALS, a disease affecting both upper and lower motor neurons in the motor cortex of the brain) would present remarkable deficits in action-sentence compatibility tasks.
In Experiment 2, participants responded to stimuli presented on the mug handles in a computer-based stimulus response compatibility task.
These results are discussed in terms the utility of this compatibility task in helping sensory marketers/packaging designers to discriminate between a small range of different packaging solutions.
This study examined the performance of 38 right-handed and right-footed participants in a four choice spatial stimulus response (S R) compatibility task with the use of hand and foot controls to respond to visual signals in a vertical plane.
Investigating accessibility effects on varied implicit social cognition, Gawronski and Bodenhausen demonstrated that performance on a latency-based response compatibility task (such as the IAT) is affected by the practiced ease of and subjective feelings about the retrieval of relevant information (i.e. valence attached to doping) from memory [43].
The second study employed a manual stimulus response compatibility task (Cieslik et al. 2010).
Tasks used previously to assess an approach-bias for substance-related stimuli are the Stimulus Response Compatibility Task (SRC [ 10, 12, 13, 15, 26]), IAT [ 16, 17, 28] and Approach Avoidance Task (AAT [ 9, 29, 30]).
In addition to the three tasks described here, participants also completed a visual probe task and a stimulus response compatibility task, results from which are not presented here due to poor internal reliability and between-session stability (see Supporting information for details).
On the compatibility with tasks and workload, only three users formally stated that it was incompatible, one user remained undecided (i.e., shared opinion) and nine (or 69%) affirmed without any ambiguity that it is compatible.
Imitative response tendencies (imitative compatibility effects) are measured by calculating the difference in RT to perform the task-relevant action in the presence of the image of an imitatively incompatible, versus an imitatively compatible, task-irrelevant action.
