Stimulus-response compatibility refers to the finding that certain
mappings of stimuli to responses produce faster and more accurate
responding than do others. The present volume surveys compatibility
research which falls into four broad categories: (a) mental
representation and coding (b) neurophysiological mechanisms (c)
motor performance (d) human factors applications. The major
findings and models within each of the categories are summarized,
and an integrated perspective is provided. The research indicates
that compatibility effects reflect basic cognitive processes that
bear on a range of issues in cognitive science and that have
applied implications for human factors specialists.
