The phenomenon of spatial compatibility demonstrates that spatially congruent (compatible) responses are faster than spatially incongruent (incompatible) responses in reaction time (RT) tasks. The effect was measured in a total of 15 15–17 yr old athletes who practiced soccer or volleyball. Ss completed RT tasks on a computer. On some trials, the stimulus and the response key were on the same side; on others, they were not. The compatibility effect was much stronger for volleyball players than for soccer players, possibly due to differences in training method or the preferential use of different effectors in the 2 sports.

Abstract
The phenomenon of spatial compatibility demonstrates that spatially congruent (compatible) responses are faster than spatially incongruent (incompatible) responses in reaction time (RT) tasks. The effect was measured in a total of 15 15–17 yr old athletes who practiced soccer or volleyball. Ss completed RT tasks on a computer. On some trials, the stimulus and the response key were on the same side; on others, they were not. The compatibility effect was much stronger for volleyball players than for soccer players, possibly due to differences in training method or the preferential use of different effectors in the 2 sports.
