Abstract

Past research studies on spatial compatibility demonstrated that when stimulus and response sets vary along both horizontal and vertical dimensions, the horizontal (right/left) locational cues are found stronger than vertical (above/below) cues, and this phenomenon is known as right/left prevalence effect [1-3]. However, there is no research study in examining the right/left prevalence effect of stimulus and response sets in transverse (right/left) and longitudinal (front/rear) dimensions. The more we have about human performance in different display-control configurations, the better and more effective will be human-machine interfaces designed to allow effective operation. This study explored the spatial compatibility effect of hand controls with visual signals presented on horizontal planes. Results showed salient spatial compatibility effect between visual signals and controls, however, there was no indication of any prevalence effect of right/left dimension over front/rear one. Results were translated into practical recommendations for design of control-horizontal display configuration.
