Using the dual-task paradigm, the present study tested the effect of visuospatial and verbal secondary task on the power-space interactions after excluding the verbal-spatial codes. In the experiment, a power word was presented in the center of the screen with two response labels (“human” and “animal”) at the up or down side of the target word. The response labels were mapping to the up and down cursor keys in the keyboard. The locations of the two labels exchanged from trial to trial. This manipulation could exclude the activation of the verbal-spatial codes. Participants were required to judge the semantic category of the word in three task conditions: the single task, the visual dual task, and the verbal dual task. It is hypothesized that the power-space interactions would be affected by the visual secondary task, but not by the verbal secondary task.
Consistent with our prediction, the results showed that the power-space interactions during the semantic category judgment task were affected by the visual secondary task, but not by the verbal secondary task.
The findings suggested that (1) the semantic category judgment task could activate visuospatial codes (modal representations) individually after excluding the verbal spatial-codes and (2) the visuospatial codes were only interfered by the visuospatial secondary task.
