They free customers from manual response to price changes.
However, its use has been limited to offline risk computation and manual response.
In the study, participants responded to a visually presented stimulus with either a spatially compatible or incompatible manual response.
In Experiment 2, drivers' manual response time significantly improved when alerts were presented through unique seat locations.
Participants performed a lexical decision task by making word/non-word judgments, with rarely occurring prospective memory target words requiring a pre-specified manual response.
By differentially cueing either ocular or manual response systems, rather than spatially lateralised responses within just one of these systems, potential spatial confounds were removed.
Moreover, temporal orienting activated left IPS whether the target required a saccadic or manual response, and whether this response was left- or right-sided, thus confirming the ubiquity of left IPS activation for temporal orienting.
In Experiment 1, despite drivers always making the correct response maneuver, their manual response time and verbal response accuracy significantly degraded as the number of alerts increased from three to seven.
A biologically-inspired model (DINASAUR, based on non-linear input dynamics) can account for both saccadic and manual response distributions and accuracy by simply adjusting the balance and relative timings of transient and sustained inputs, and increasing the mean and variance of non-decisional delays for manual responses.
Overall, the study shows that confusion and delayed responses may occur when the number of possible alerts is increased, but that the information transmitted by the haptic seat alerts can be secured if the alerts are presented through unique seat locations that are spaced far apart, and map to the desired manual response.
After the delay, a probe word appeared and the participant made a manual response indicating whether or not the probe was included in the memory set.
