A recent study based on the SPoARC effect (spatial position association response codes) showed that culture heavily shapes cognition and more specifically the way thought is organized; when Western adults are asked to keep in mind a sequence of colors, they mentally organize them from left to right, whereas right‐to‐left reading/writing adults spatialize them in the opposite direction. Here, we investigate if the spontaneous direction of spatialization in Westerners can be reversed. Lists of five consonants were presented auditorily at a rate of 3 s per item, participants were asked to mentally organize the memoranda from right to left. Each list was followed by a probe. Participants had to indicate whether the probe was part of the sequence by pressing a “yes” key or a “no” key with the left or right index finger. Left/right‐hand key assignment was switched after half of the trials were completed. The results showed a reverse SPoARC effect that was comparable in magnitude to the spontaneous left‐to‐right SPoARC effect found in a previous study. Overall, our results suggest that individuals can reverse the cultural direction of their thoughts.

工作记忆中的空间化:个人能否扭转其思想的文化方向?
最近一项基于 SPoARC 效应(空间位置关联反应代码)的研究表明,文化在很大程度上影响了认知,更具体地说,是思维的组织方式;当西方成年人被要求记住一系列颜色时,他们在心理上从左到右组织它们,而从右到左阅读/写作的成年人则在相反的方向将它们空间化。在这里,我们调查西方人空间化的自发方向是否可以逆转。五个辅音的列表以每项 3 s 的速度在听觉上呈现,参与者被要求从右到左在心理上组织备忘录。每个列表后面都有一个探针。参与者必须通过用左手或右手食指按“是”键或“否”键来指示探针是否是序列的一部分。在完成一半的试验后切换左/右手键分配。结果表明,反向 SPoARC 效应在幅度上与先前研究中发现的自发从左到右 SPoARC 效应相当。总体而言,我们的结果表明,个人可以扭转其思想的文化方向。
