The aim of this work is to investigate whether the actual position of a stimulus is more relevant than intuitive knowledge about the direction of an object's movement and the participants’ intention (Michaels 1988; Hommel, 1993; Proctor, Van Zandt, Lu and Weeks, 1993; Ansorge, 2000). To investigate this we used a spatial compatibility task in 4 experiments replicating what had be done by Hommel (1993) and Micheals (1988), but changing a single aspect of the procedure: neither the movement nor the effects of the action were visible to the participant. The experimental task asked them to simply imagine an action in movement.
