The Joint Simon task is not joint for capuchin monkeys [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHuman cooperation can be facilitated by the ability to create a mental representation of one’s own actions, as well as the actions of a partner, known as action co-representation.

Creativity and the Simon Task Performance
Psychological Topics, 2023 The aim of this study was to examine performance in the Simon task regarding individual differences in creative behavior measured by The Inventory of Creative Activities and Achievements (ICAA; Diedrich et al., 2018). The study included 105 students and

The task-relevant attribute representation can mediate the Simon effect. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 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 ...

On the automaticity of relational stimulus processing: The (extrinsic) relational Simon task. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 We introduce the (extrinsic) relational Simon task as a tool for capturing automatic relational stimulus processing. In three experiments, participants responded to a perceptual relation between two stimuli.

Processing irrelevant location information: practice and transfer effects in a Simon task. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2013 How humans produce cognitively driven fine motor movements is a question of fundamental importance in how we interact with the world around us. For example, we are exposed to a constant stream of information and we must select the information that is ...

Sex differences in the Simon task help to interpret sex differences in selective attention. [PDF]
Psychol Res, 2017 In the last decade, a number of studies have reported sex differences in selective attention, but a unified explanation for these effects is still missing.

Self-regulatory strategy and executive control: implementation intentions modulate task switching and Simon task performance [PDF]
Psychological Research, 2006 Two tasks where failures of cognitive control are especially prevalent are task-switching and spatial Simon task paradigms. Both tasks require considerable strategic control for the participant to avoid the costs associated with switching tasks (task-switching paradigm) and to minimize the influence of spatial location (Simon task).

Interacting hands: The role of attention for the joint Simon effect
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Recent research in monkeys and humans has shown that the presence of the hands near an object enhances spatial processing for objects presented near the hand. This study aimed to test the effect of hand position on the joint Simon effect. In Experiment 1,

Enhanced impulsive action selection in middle-aged adults - insights from an oculomotor Simon task [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2016 Several studies have investigated the age-related impact in cognitive action control. However, to our knowledge, none has focused on the effect of moderate age on the strength of automatic activation according to the activation suppression model.

Practice effects vs. transfer effects in the Simon task. [PDF]
Psychol Res, 2021 AbstractThe Simon effect refers to the fact that, even though stimulus position is task-irrelevant, responses to a task-relevant stimulus dimension are faster and more accurate when the stimulus and response spatially correspond than when they do not.
