Abstract: | We investigated whether verbospatial and visuospatial information share a common representation. We demonstrate that when
the associations from spatial words to spatial responses are altered, so that the word left becomes associated with a right
response and the word right with a left response, the associations from the spatial locations left and right to the spatial
responses also change. This effect was only observed for first-language spatial words (Dutch) and not for second-language
spatial words (French), and it did not increase when these languages were combined. The findings argue for shared spatial
representations for different types of spatial input. |
