Abstract

This paper focuses on automatic number processing as instantiated in the size congruity effect It was recently argued that longterm “associations between individual digits and the attributes ‘small’ and ‘large’ create the size congruity effect” Choplin and Logan 2003 abstract p 17 Moreover these authors proposed the additional assumption that the relevant connections are acquired over a lifetime of experience with numbers We show that at least one of these assumptions is not true either the size congruity effect derives from an online comparison effect between two numbers at the time of stimulus presentation violating the first assumption or the relevant connections flexibly change offline between trials during the course of one experimental session violating the second assumptionThe authors want to thank Jan De Houwer for helpful suggestions WF is supported by the Inter University Attraction Pole P5/05 Belgian Government and by a GOA grant from the Ghent University Research Fund The contribution of FVO and TV was supported by grant G018804 from the Fund of Scientific Research—Flanders
