Different grasping experiences affect mapping effects but not correspondence effects between stimulus size and response location.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The so-called spatial-size association of response codes (SSARC) effect denotes that humans respond faster and more accurately with a left response to physically small stimuli and a right response to physically large stimuli, as compared to the opposite mapping. According to an application of the CORE principle to the SSARC effect, the habit to grasp larger/heavier objects with one's dominant hand and smaller/lighter objects with one's non-dominant hand creates spatial-size associations. We investigated if grasping habits play a causal role in the formation of spatial-size associations by testing if the mapping of a preceding object-grasping task affects the size of the SSARC effect in subsequent choice-response tasks with keypress responses. In the object-grasping task, participants were instructed to grasp wooden cubes of variable size either according to a compatible (small-left; large-right) or according to an incompatible (small-right; large-left) mapping. In the choice-response tasks, participants responded with left or right keypresses to the size or color of a small or large stimulus. The results showed that participants with the compatible mapping in the object-grasping task showed a larger SSARC effect in the size discrimination task, but not in the color discrimination task, than participants with the incompatible mapping in the object-grasping task. Results suggest that a short period of practice with different size-location mappings can modulate size-location links used for controlled S-R translation, but not links underlying automatic S-R translation. In general, the results support the hypothesis that grasping habits play a causal role in the formation of spatial-size associations.
