Affective spatial compatibility task as a model for the study of emotional behavior. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.spe, pp.76-101.

Besides emotional aspects, human behavior can be affected by other factors, such as the spatial location of stimuli, which tend to facilitate the occurrence of faster motor responses to stimulus at the same side in a classic stimulus-response compatibility task. This article consists of a narrative review of studies that used the Affective Spatial Compatibility Task (TCEA) to assess the influence of the stimulus' affective valence on spatial compatibility patterns. In general, studies analyzed indicate that figures, images and words with emotional valence are capable of influencing the subject's behavior. Thus, we conclude that TCEA is a tool with potential application to the study of the interaction between emotion and cognition in the neuropsychological evaluation.

Palabras clave : Affective Spatial Compatibility Task; Emotion; Behavior; Manual response time.
