Is effector visibility critical for performance asymmetries in the Simon task? Evidence from hand- and foot-press responses
The Simon effect is a stimulus-response compatibility effect in which the spatial dimension of the stimulus is task-irrelevant. This effect is often larger in reaction time (RT) for the stimulus located on the...

Visual perspective taking for avatars in a Simon task
In modern digital applications, users often interact with virtual representations of themselves or others, called avatars. We examined how these avatars and their perspectives influence stimulus–response compatib...

Constrained postures and spatial S–R compatibility as measured by the Simon effect
Whereas working under constrained postures is known to influence the worker’s perceived comfort and health, little is known in regard to its influence on performance. Employing an Auditory Simon task while var...

Concurrent adaptation to opposite visual distortions: impairment and cue
The present study compared single and dual adaptation to visuomotor rotations in different cueing conditions. Participants adapted either to a constant rotation or to opposing rotations (dual adaptation) appli...

Intra- and intermodal integration of discrepant visual and proprioceptive action effects
Integration of discrepant visual and proprioceptive action effects puts high demands on the human information processing system. The present study aimed to examine the integration mechanisms for the motor (Exp...

Regional accent variation in the shadowing task: Evidence for a loose perception–action coupling in speech
We investigated the relation between action and perception in speech processing, using the shadowing task, in which participants repeat words they hear. In support of a tight perception–action link, previous w...

Open AccessThe perceived onset position of a moving target: Effects of trial contexts are evoked by different attentional allocations
Previous studies have shown that the localization of the perceived onset position of a moving target varies with the trial context. When the moving target appeared at predictable positions to the left or right...

Open AccessGeneralization of visuomotor adaptation depends on the spatial characteristic of visual workspace
The present study aims to address a novel aspect of visuomotor adaptation and its generalization. It is based on the assumption that the spatial structure of the distal action space is crucial for generalizati...

The structure of affective action representations: temporal binding of affective response codes
Two experiments examined the hypothesis that preparing an action with a specific affective connotation involves the binding of this action to an affective code reflecting this connotation. This integration int...

Perceptual and attentional factors in encoding irrelevant spatial information
Numerous studies found superior performance when the irrelevant location of a stimulus and response location were corresponding than when they were not corresponding (Simon effect), suggesting that stimulus lo...

User Specific Design of Interfaces and Interaction Techniques: What Do Older Computer Users Need?
The increase of a “graying” society is apparent in recent decades and as such, the attention of marketing and product design is more and more focused on older users of technical devices. The study addresses th...

Processing of irrelevant location information under dual-task conditions
This study deals with the problem of whether the processing of irrelevant location information in Simon-like tasks is triggered exogenously or endogenously. In Experiment 1, the primary task required one to pr...

When do irrelevant visual stimuli impair processing of identical targets?
Three experiments investigated whether the repeated-letter inferiority effect (RLIE) and repetition blindness (RB) are identical phenomena or not and how the RLIE can be reconciled with the flanker compatibili...

Action-induced blindness with lateralized stimuli and responses
Previous dual-task studies showed that the selection and/or execution of a response interfere with concurrent visual encoding (action-induced blindness). Four experiments examined how the lateralization of sti...

Letter-detection patterns in German: A window to the early extraction of sentential structure during reading
Letters are more difficult to detect in function words than in content words, presumably because function words serve to cue sentential structure but recede to the background as meaning unfolds. This function ...

Relative mislocalization of briefly presented stimuli in the retinal periphery
We studied the ability to localize flashed stimuli, using a relative judgment task. When observers are asked to localize the peripheral position of a probe with respect to the midposition of a spatially extend...

Localizing the first position of a moving stimulus: The Fröhlich effect and an attention-shifting explanation
When subjects are asked to determine where a fast-moving stimulus enters a window, they typically do not localize the stimulus at the edge, but at some later position within that window (Fröhlich effect). We r...

Detecting and identifying response-compatible stimuli
Previous work indicates that action-control processes influence perceptual processes: The identification probability of a left- or right-pointing arrow is reduced when it appears during the execution of a comp...
