Abstract: Two experiments were conducted in the present study to examine the features of the spatial representation of magnitude through visual,auditory,and cross-modal perception.Numerical comparison tasks were adapted from a cross-modal perspective.Results in Experiment 1 revealed that SNARC effect was presented through either visual or auditory channel.For the cross-modal perception in Experiment 2,when the magnitude of number in the priming channel was consistent or irrelevant with that in the main channel,the SNARC effect was found to be similar to Experiment 1,whether the priming channel was a visual or auditory one.However,when the magnitude of number in the priming channel was inconsistent with that in the main channel,the SNARC effect of the main channel was found to be significantly reduced or even disappear.These results provided further evidence that SNARC effect would be affected by situations.In addition,this study also found that for the spatial representation of magnitude under cross-modal perception,numerical information from the auditory channel might have a greater influence on the spatial representation of magnitude in the visual channel rather than vice versa.

Key words: the spatial representation of magnitude, SNARC effect, cross-modality
