Abstract
Studies of stimulus-response compatibility show that certain stimulus modalities go more naturally with particular response modalities than others. For example, it is more natural to say the word “left ” to a spoken word LEFT than to move a control left, whereas it is more natural to move a control left to a light onset to the left than it is to say the word “left”. Such modality relations determine not only how quickly a person can respond to relevant information but also the amount of interference that they may get from irrelevant distracting information. Cues that signal the spatial location of an upcoming target stimulus facilitate processing not only when the two stimuli are presented in the same modality but also when they occur in different modalities. In general, these crossmodal cuing effects occur when the cue and target stimulus are spatially co-located. In this paper, we review the findings on compatibility and cuing studies across stimulus modalities and discuss their implications for multimodal interface design.
