The SMARC (Spatial-Musical Association of Response Codes) effect describes the automatic spatial association between the frequency of sounds and the spatial direction of motor responses. High-pitched sounds tend to be associated with spatial responses up or to the right, while low-pitched sounds are associated with responses down or to the left. This thesis provides a comprehensive review of the main studies that have investigated the SMARC effect, highlighting its different manifestations and trying to understand the origins of this spatial association. Through this review, the thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of the SMARC effect, paying attention to both perceptual and cognitive aspects, and to the practical implications of these findings in the context of spatial cognition and the interaction between sounds and motor responses.
L'effetto SMARC (Spatial-Musical Association of Response Codes) descrive l'associazione spaziale automatica tra la frequenza dei suoni e la direzione spaziale delle risposte motorie. Suoni acuti tendono a essere associati a risposte spaziali in alto o a destra, mentre suoni gravi sono associati a risposte in basso o a sinistra. Questa tesi offre una rassegna completa dei principali studi che hanno indagato l'effetto SMARC, evidenziando le sue diverse manifestazioni e cercando di comprendere le origini di questa associazione spaziale. Attraverso questa rassegna, la tesi contribuisce a una comprensione più profonda dell’effetto SMARC, ponendo attenzione sia agli aspetti percettivi che cognitivi, e alle implicazioni pratiche di queste scoperte nel contesto della cognizione spaziale e dell’interazione tra suoni e risposte motorie.

Abstract
The SMARC (Spatial-Musical Association of Response Codes) effect describes the automatic spatial association between the frequency of sounds and the spatial direction of motor responses. High-pitched sounds tend to be associated with spatial responses up or to the right, while low-pitched sounds are associated with responses down or to the left. This thesis provides a comprehensive review of the main studies that have investigated the SMARC effect, highlighting its different manifestations and trying to understand the origins of this spatial association. Through this review, the thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of the SMARC effect, paying attention to both perceptual and cognitive aspects, and to the practical implications of these findings in the context of spatial cognition and the interaction between sounds and motor responses.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
