“…A modified version of the Auditory Spatial Stroop task from Barrow andBaldwin (2009, 2010) was used. In this experiment, a speaker was physically placed in extrapersonal space 48 inches in front of the participant, and another speaker was placed in peripersonal space 12 inches in front of the participant, as seen in figure 2.…”

“…In the semantic task, participants were instructed to respond to the semantic information of the auditory stimuli, pressing the down arrow of the keyboard when they heard the word "in" and pressing the up arrow of the keyboard when they heard the word "out", regardless of the location of the stimuli. In the Location task, as in Barrow and Baldwin (2014), participants were instructed to respond to the location of the stimuli while attempting to ignore the semantic information of the stimuli. That is, participants were instructed to press the down arrow when the auditory stimuli sounds like it is originating from the peripersonal region of space, and press the up arrow when the auditory stimuli sounds like it is originating from the extrapersonal region of space, regardless of whether the semantic content of the auditory stimuli was "in" or "out".…”

“…Reading a word is a task undertaken on a daily basis whereas, identifying the color of the ink in which a word is printed is usually irrelevant in our day-to-day lives and thus less of an automatic process. Barrow and Baldwin (2009, 2010, & 2014 created an auditory-spatial Stroop paradigm to determine the conflict experienced when people were asked to attend to either the spatial location of a spoken word, or the semantics contained in the word. In the location task, participants were instructed to indicate the physical location of the speaker from which the stimulus was played, either left or right, while ignoring the semantic meaning of the word.…”

“…The goal of this experiment was to extend the findings of Barrow and Baldwin (2009, 2010, 2014 to investigate whether it is generally more difficult to attend to semantic or location information across regions of space. It is predicted that, in general, when semantic and location information are incongruent, it will be more difficult to ignore the semantic information and attend to the location, relative to the ignoring the location information and attending to the semantic information.…”

An experiment utilizing an auditory-spatial Stroop paradigm was created to assess whether participants are better able to attend to spatial or semantic information across near and far regions of space. Participants were instructed to attend to either the semantic information of a stimulus or identify the location of where the stimulus came from, depending on the condition. The sounds came from speakers that were physically located in either near space (peripersonal region of space) or far space (extrapersonal region of space) and the words were either "near" or "far." Results indicate that participants in general were quicker at responding to the semantic condition than the location condition. Furthermore, consistent with findings of many other Stroop-like experiments, there was a significant difference between congruent and incongruent trials in both task conditions. The results of this investigation provide additional insight into how people process different types of information across near and far regions of space.

“…One potentially unique way to assess these individual differences in spatial strategy is with an auditory-spatial Stroop task because it is a task in which a prepotent response (semantic processing) conflicts with a newly learned association. Barrow andBaldwin (2009, 2010) used an auditory-spatial Stroop paradigm to assess individual differences in spatial strategy. A spatial version of the Stroop task can be used to assess individual differences in potential response conflict, and, more specifically, may be an effective way to assess an individual's executive function to switch their attention across distinct regions of space, which will now be discussed.…”

you introduced me to the world of Human Factors and taught me what a rewarding field it is. Without these opportunities, my career would look a lot different than it does today. To my mentors at the Air Force Research Lab and the Navy, Drs. Finomore, Funke, Warm, Stone, and Ganey, I thank each of you for the experience and mentoring you've provided. These opportunities and experiences are priceless and have influenced many subsequent decisions I've made concerning my career. My time working under you for the military has influenced me to want to pursue a DOD related career. It is what inspires me to wake up every morning and make a difference in our country. Last but not least, to my committee members, Drs. Baldwin, Parasuraman, and Shaw. You have each embraced me, mentored me, and put your reputations on the line to recommend me in various capacities. You saved my academic career when a previous advisor left the university and none of you were obligated to do so. You opened up your rolodex's to me numerous times which opened some priceless doors for me. You are each scholars among scholars and I am extremely fortunate for the opportunities I've had to learn from you. More importantly, you treated me with respect and genuinely cared for what was in my best interest as a grad student and for my career. You should all be recognized for your second-to-none mentoring and hospitality. I hope to someday be a fraction as successful as each of you, as an academic and as a mentor. It is my life mission to pay it forward. I am forever grateful and indebted to you. Thank you. v

Drivers interact with a number of systems while driving. Taking advantage of multiple modalities can reduce the cognitive effort of information processing and facilitate multitasking. The present study aims to investigate how and when auditory cues improve driver responses to a visual target. We manipulated three dimensions (spatial, semantic, and temporal) of verbal and nonverbal cues to interact with visual spatial instructions. Multimodal displays were compared with unimodal (visual-only) displays to see whether they would facilitate or degrade a vehicle control task. Twenty-six drivers participated in the Auditory-Spatial Stroop experiment [1] using a lane change test (LCT). The preceding auditory cues improved response time over the visual-only condition. When dimensions conflicted, spatial (location) congruency had a stronger impact than semantic (meaning) congruency. The effects on accuracy was minimal, but there was a trend of speed-accuracy trade-offs. Results are discussed along with theoretical issues and future works.

Individual Differences in Verbal-Spatial Conflict in Rapid Spatial-Orientation Tasks

Abstract: When designing spatial information displays and warning systems, particularly those with an auditory component, designers should ensure that either verbal-directional or nonverbal-spatial information is utilized by all alerts to reduce interference.
