uStimulus-Response Compatibility
lThe more compatible (the more
similar) the response and the response key layout is to the stimuli, the
faster and more accurate are the responses. (Fitts & Seeger,
1953).
lSometimes compatibility is determined by
cultural norms (population stereotypes). e.g. what side is the hot
water control
and which way do you turn it for on?
Compatible
Incompatible
