Eliminating mirror responses by instructions
The observation of an action leads to the activation of the corresponding motor plan in the
observer. This phenomenon of motor resonance has an important role in social interaction …

Spatial stimulus-response compatibility and affordance effects are not ruled by the same mechanisms
Stimulus position is coded even if it is task-irrelevant, leading to faster response times when
the stimulus and the response locations are compatible (spatial Stimulus–Response …

Visual versus auditory Simon effect: A behavioural and physiological investigation
This study investigated whether the visual and auditory Simon effects could be accounted for
by the same mechanism. In a single experiment, we performed a detailed comparison of the …

Contextual determinants of the social-transfer-of-learning effect
A recent study (Milanese et al. in Cogn 116 (1): 15–22, 2010) showed that performing a
spatial compatibility task with incompatible S–R links (ie, the practice task) alongside a co …

From eyes to hands: Transfer of learning in the Simon task across motor effectors
A Verghese, JB Mattingley, PE Palmer… - Attention, Perception, & …, 2018 - Springer
Inhibition of irrelevant and conflicting information and responses is crucial for goal-directed
behaviour and adaptive functioning. In the Simon task, for example, responses are slowed if …

Look what I am doing: does observational learning take place in evocative task-sharing situations?
Two experiments were conducted to investigate whether physical and observational practice
in task-sharing entail comparable implicit motor learning. To this end, the social-transfer-of …

Emergence of the go/no-go Simon effect by means of practice and mixing paradigms
In two experiments, we tested whether the emergence of the go/no-go Simon effect could be
determined by the strengthening of one specific S–R link in location-relevant trials …

Overcoming expectations: Electrophysiological effects of inhibitory control demands in a non-linguistic task on subsequent semantic relatedness judgements
This event-related potentials study focussed on whether extensive practice of inhibitory
control in a conflict task affects semantic processing/decisions in a subsequent language …

Modulation of the affordance effect through transfer of learning
Consistent evidence shows that practising with spatially incompatible stimulus–response
trials modulates performance on following tasks requiring the solution of cognitive conflict …
