It’s SNARC o’ clock
The Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect consists in faster left-/right-key responses to small/large numbers. (Bächtold et al., Neuropsychologia 36:731–735, 1998) reported the reversal of this effect after eliciting the context of a clockface—where small numbers are represented on the right and large numbers on the left. The present study investigates how the salience of a particular spatial-numerical context, which refl…
Motor control drives visual bodily judgements
The 'embodied cognition' framework proposes that our motor repertoire shapes visual perception and cognition. But recent studies showing normal visual body representation in individuals born without hands challenges the contribution of motor control on visual body representation. Here, we studied hand laterality judgements in three groups with fundamentally different visual and motor hand experiences: two-handed controls, one-handers born without…

Stroop-Type Interference in Random-Number Generation
We describe a positive correlation between the extent of sequential counting in a random-number generation task and the magnitude of the interference effect in Stroop's color-naming task. This finding is compatible with the view that both counting and reading are highly automatized processes which constitute an inevitable source of interference in randomization and Stroop paradigms, respectively. On the other hand, cognitive psychological theorie…
Repetition Avoidance in Responses to Imaginary Questions
42 subjects were given the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator which demands checking either one of two response variants for each of 81 questions. Before, they had completed an imaginary questionnaire version, that is, checked 81 times either "a" or "b" without seeing any questions. Three main findings emerged. (1) Over all subjects, repetitions of the same response alternative were significantly avoided only in the imaginary version, indicating that it…
A 'sheep-goat effect' in repetition avoidance
Performance on extra-sensory perception (ESP) and on subjective random generation (SRG) has been shown independently to differ along a number of personality dimensions. One of the variables known consistently to influence ESP performance but not studied yet in SRG experiments is belief in the paranormal. We report three experiments on subjective randomness as a function of belief in ESP: (1) a retrospective analysis of randomness in multiple choi…
