Abstract
With this study, we manipulated size of objects (i.e. large/small vegetables) and magnitude of action’s results (i.e. low/high pitch). We found, as we hypothesized, that the congruency between object’s size and anticipated effect’s magnitude lead to smaller reaction time (i.e. large/low and small/high).
