When planning results in loss of control: Intention-based reflexivity and working-memory
In this review, the authors discuss the seemingly paradoxical loss of control associated with
states of high readiness to execute a plan, termed “intention-based reflexivity.” The review …

Playing the Simon game: Use of the Simon task for investigating human information processing
RW Proctor - Acta Psychologica, 2011 - Elsevier
A little more than 40years ago, JR Simon and colleagues introduced what is now called the

A response-discrimination account of the Simon effect.
Simon effects might partly reflect stimulus-triggered response activation. According to the
response-discrimination hypothesis, however, stimulus-triggered response activation shows …

Shared spatial representations for numbers and space: the reversal of the SNARC and the Simon effects.
In 4 experiments, the authors investigated the reversal of spatial congruency effects when
participants concurrently practiced incompatible map** rules (JG Marble & RW Proctor …

Practice effects vs. transfer effects in the Simon task
S D'Ascenzo, L Lugli, R Nicoletti, C Umiltà - Psychological research, 2021 - Springer
The 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 …

Testing the theory of embodied cognition with subliminal words
In the current study, we tested the embodied cognition theory (ECT). The ECT postulates
mandatory sensorimotor processing of words when accessing their meaning. We test that …

The Simon effect with conventional signals: A time-course analysis
The Simon effect consists of a faster and a more accurate performance when spatial
responses correspond to irrelevant-spatial stimuli than when they do not. The time course of …
