Manuscript ========== Kirkham, A.J., & Tipper, S.P. (2015). Spatial compatibility interference effects: a double dissociation between two measures. *Visual Cognition*, *23*(8), 1043–1060. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2015.1110653][1] Abstract -------- In spatial compatibility tasks, when the spatial location of a stimulus is irrelevant it nevertheless interferes when a response is required in a different spatial location. For example, response with a left key-press is slowed when the stimulus is presented to the right as compared to the left side of a computer screen. However, in some conditions this interference effect is not detected in reaction time (RT) measures. It is typically assumed that the lack of effect means the irrelevant spatial code was not analysed or that the information rapidly decayed before response. However, we show that even in conditions where there appears to be no spatial interference when measuring RTs, effects can nevertheless be detected after response when recording facial electromyography responses. This dissociation between two measures highlights the importance of diverging methods to investigate visuomotor processes as conclusions based on only one measure can be misleading.
