On spatial response code activation in a Simon task
Acta Psychologica, 2003 The Simon effect refers to the performance advantage for trials where the task-irrelevant location of a target spatially corresponds with the location of the response. It is thought that the irrelevant spatial code of the target facilitates responding by automatically pre-activating the spatially corresponding response code.

The Effect of Script Similarity on Executive Control in Bilinguals
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 The need for executive control (EC) during bilingual language processing is thought to enhance these abilities, conferring a ‘bilingual advantage’ on EC tasks.

Evidence for gating of direct response activation in the Simon task [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2005 The Simon effect denotes faster responses when the task-irrelevant stimulus position corresponds to the response position than when it does not. Accounts of this effect assume that stimulus position automatically activates a spatially corresponding response while the correct response is being computed.

Aging and the prevalence of 'ironic' action errors under avoidant instruction.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Action errors can put older adults at risk of injury. Our study is the first to investigate whether older adults are more prone than younger adults to making 'ironic' motor errors (i.e., actions they have been instructed not to perform), or over ...

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,

Effect of perceived interpersonal closeness on the joint Simon effect in adolescents and adults
Scientific Reports, 2020 Here, we explored the role of perceived interpersonal closeness in joint action using the joint Simon task in adolescents and adults. In a two-choice reaction time task, spatially assigned responses to non-spatial stimulus features are faster when the ...

Transfer of an implied incompatible spatial mapping to a Simon task
Acta Psychologica, 2016 When location words left and right are presented in left and right locations and mapped to left and right keypress responses in the Hedge and Marsh (1975) task (Arend & Wandmacher, 1987), a compatible mapping of words to responses yields a benefit for stimulus-response location correspondence (sometimes called the Simon effect), whereas an incompatible
