N2 - Many studies have proofed that spatial coding is a dominant factor attributing to spatial S-R compatibility effects. However, anatomy-related factor is seldom studied. For exploring the possibility of separating spatial factor from anatomical factor in two-finger choice reaction, this study proposed a distinction between anatomical and spatial finger distances for testing. Testing of two pairs of fingers with differences in anatomical distance and spatial distance of response keys was conducted. The results showed that if spatial distance of response keys did not match with anatomical distance of fingers, slower response time (RT) and higher response error percentage (EP) were shown. Therefore, the spatial and anatomical relation should be considered carefully for the spatial S-R compatibility effects.
