Some recent papers have been devoted to simultaneous analysis of RT and P300 latency effects with S‐R compatibility. This, indeed, can be particularly fruitful since it may provide some insight into response choice, a crucial stage of information processing taking place between stimulus analysis and response production. Apparent contradictions have arisen between these studies because of the different kinds of S‐R compatibilities involved. The aim of this reply is to emphasize the discrepancies between experimental designs that use semantic versus spatial compatibilities.
