Document Summary
Conceptual compatibility: deals with degree to which codes and symbols correspond to people"s conceptual associations. Movement compatibility: relationship between the movement of a control and corresponding display and response of system being controlled. Modality compatibility: deals with the degree of compatibility between certain stimulus-response modalities. Spatial compatibility: deals with the spatial arrangement of controls and displays, or stimuli and responses. Compatibility effects: present whenever implicit or explicit spatial relations exist, relatively independent of the manner of stimulus presentation and response execution. Compatible s-r mapping: when cognitive codes based on spatial features of stimulus and response sets are similar. Incompatible s-r mapping: when cognitive codes are incongruent. Stimulus- response compatibility: a degree of natural or learned correspondence between a stimulus and a response. The stimulus is said to be compatible if one follows what is expected of them. Stimulus is also said to be compatible if the movement is natural.
