The Simon Effect Asymmetry for Left- and Right-Dominant Persons [PDF]
When participants respond to a task-relevant stimulus attribute by pressing a left or right key with the respective index finger, reaction time is shorter if task-irrelevant left-right stimulus location corresponds to that of the response key than if it ...

The task-relevant attribute representation can mediate the Simon effect. [PDF]
Researchers have previously suggested a working memory (WM) account of spatial codes, and based on this suggestion, the present study carries out three experiments to investigate how the task-relevant attribute representation (verbal or visual) in the ...

Joint Simon effect in rats: Validation across two strains and exploratory analysis of the influence of familiarity. [PDF]
Examining the influence of others on joint actions could clarify the basal mechanisms underlying social coordination in non-human animals. The joint Simon task is used for this purpose, and some non-human animals have demonstrated the joint Simon effect.

Somatotopic Representation of Location: Evidence from the Simon Effect [PDF]
Representing the locations of tactile stimulation can involve somatotopic reference frames in which locations are defined relative to a position on the skin surface, and also external reference frames which take into account stimulus position in external

The Influence of Negative Emotion on the Simon Effect as Reflected by P300 [PDF]
The Simon effect refers to the phenomenon that reaction time (RT) is faster when stimulus and response location are congruent than when they are not. This study used the priming-target paradigm to explore the influence of induced negative emotion on the ...

Neuroimaging of the joint Simon effect with believed biological and non-biological co-actors [PDF]
Performing a task alone or together with another agent can produce different outcomes. The current study used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural underpinnings when participants performed a Go/Nogo task ...

Sequential modulations of the Simon effect depend on episodic retrieval [PDF]
Sequential modulations of conflict effects, like the reduction of the Simon effect after incompatible trials, have been taken to reflect the operation of a proactive control mechanism commonly called conflict monitoring.

The joint Simon effect depends on perceived agency, but not intentionality, of the alternative action [PDF]
A co-actor's intentionality has been suggested to be a key modulating factor for joint action effects like the joint Simon effect (JSE). However, in previous studies intentionality has often been confounded with agency defined as perceiving the initiator

Inverting the joint Simon effect by intention [PDF]
The joint Simon effect (JSE) is a spatial-compatibility effect that emerges when two people complete complementary components of a Simon task. In typical JSE studies, two participants sit beside each other and perform go-no-go tasks in which they respond to one of two stimuli by pressing a button. According to the action co-representation account, JSEs

The Simon Effect in Action: Planning and/or On-Line Control Effects?
Choice reaction tasks are performed faster when stimulus location corresponds to response location (Simon effect). This spatial stimulus-response compatibility effect affects performance at the level of action planning and execution.
