  • Title: Responding to object files: automatic integration of spatial information revealed by stimulus-response compatibility effects.
    Author: Hommel B.
    Journal: Q J Exp Psychol A; 2002 Apr; 55(2):567-80. PubMed ID: 12047059.
    Abstract:
    Spatial information is assumed to play a central, organizing role in object perception and to be an important ingredient of object representations. Here, evidence is provided to show that automatically integrated spatial object information is also functional in guiding spatial action. In particular, retrieving nonspatial information about a previewed object facilitates responses that spatially correspond to this object. This is true whether the object is still in sight or has already disappeared. So, forming an object representation entails the integration and storage of action-related information concerning the action that the object affords.
