In the response precueing paradigm a cue indicates the subset of relevant responses and allows to prepare for those. Classic response precueing studies used visuo-spatial targets combined with manual responses. Hitherto, possible crossmodal influences were neglected. We developed a novel crossmodal response precueing paradigm combining visual and auditory bimodal precues with visual or auditory unimodal targets and tested it in two successive experiments (N= 66). An additional manipulation the cue target interval in one experiment confirmed that the cues were used for preparation. While our data hints towards an advantage for visual over auditory targets, it overall indicates a general advantage for auditory cues irrespective of target modality. This interaction might be caused by the higher alerting quality of auditory cues, requiring active attention to process visual targets as effectively. Interestingly, the established advantage of hand over finger cues diminish with our non-spatial cues. This may be due to the fact that the spatial features responsible for cue-pattern advantages did not overlap. However, this is an assumption needing further research.
