Although easily repli- cable in Western cultures the prevalence of the SNARC effect in other cultures has long been an issue. In the current study we aimed to replicate the SNARC effect in a parity judgement task with Turkish participants (N=66) whose reading habits are entirely left-to-right. The results revealed no SNARC effect. To the best of our knowledge this is the first finding indicating the absence of regu- lar SNARC effect among left-to-right readers in a classical parity judgement task. Based on these findings we suggest that investigations of cultural influences on spatial-numerical associations should take a broader perspective rather than only focusing on reading habits.Englishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSNARC, reading habits, mental number line, parity judgement, SNASPATIAL-NUMERICAL ASSOCIATION, RESPONSE CODES SNARC, FINGER COUNTING HABITS, MENTAL REPRESENTATION, NUMBERS, SPACE, WORD, BIAS, MAGNITUDE, TASKSMental Number LineReading HabitsParity JudgementSNASNARCArticle
