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.

The influence of reward in the Simon task: Differences and similarities to the Stroop and Eriksen flanker tasks. [PDF]
Atten Percept Psychophys, 2023 AbstractPrevious studies have suggested that performance-contingent reward can modulate cognitive control by biasing irrelevant location-response associations in the Simon task. However, the influence of reward in the case of irrelevant words (Stroop task) or irrelevant flankers (Eriksen Flanker task) remains unclear.

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.

Cognitive Control and Bilingualism: The Bilingual Advantage Through the Lens of Dimensional Overlap
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Past research shows that the bilingual experience may enhance cognitive executive function. In this experiment, we evaluated cognitive control in bilinguals relative to monolinguals by using a dimensional overlap model to predict performance in a task ...

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 ...

Sharing tasks or sharing actions? Evidence from the joint Simon task. [PDF]
Psychol Res, 2018 In a joint Simon task, a pair of co-acting individuals divide labors of performing a choice-reaction task in such a way that each actor responds to one type of stimuli and ignores the other type that is assigned to the co-actor. It has been suggested that the actors share the mental representation of the joint task and perform the co-actor's trials as ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 Unexpected acute stressors may affect our co-representation with other co-actors when completing the joint tasks. The present study adopted the emergent functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-based hyperscanning method to explore the brain-to ...

PLoS ONE, 2021 In the Simon task, participants perform a decision on non-spatial features (e.g., stimulus color) by responding with a left or right key-press to a stimulus presented on the left or right side of the screen. In the flanker task, they classify the central

Spatial incompatibility training can prevent the occurrence of the enhanced Simon effect in elderly
Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas), 2022 The Simon effect is typically larger for older people than for young adults, maybe due to age-related decline in inhibitory capabilities. 32 right-handed aged people (5 male, 27 female; mean of 67,1 years ± 5,5) participated in this study.
