The impact of response frequency on spatial stimulus-response correspondence effects
2015, Acta PsychologicaCitation Excerpt :Finally we briefly address the premotor theory of attention which bears some similarity to the attentional account. Our findings provide strong evidence against the response-speed account (Proctor & Wang, 1997). This account relies on the observation that Simon effects tend to decline when overall RT increases (e.g. Hommel, 1994).
Anticipatory response control in motor sequence learning: Evidence from stimulus-response compatibility
2007, Human Movement ScienceCitation Excerpt :Importantly, this appears to contradict previous results reported in the literature on the Simon effect. For instance, it has been demonstrated that validly pre-cueing the response location can even increase the magnitude of the Simon effect (e.g., Proctor & Wang, 1997). However, a more recent study has found that the Simon effect was reduced if the validity of the external pre-cue was raised from 80% to 100% (Wühr, 2006).
Response preparation modulates interference from irrelevant spatial information
2006, Acta PsychologicaCitation Excerpt :In contrast, intentional cueing has been found to affect the Simon effect. In particular, valid intentional cues increase the Simon effect when compared to a neutral cueing condition, whereas invalid intentional cues decrease the Simon effect (e.g. Proctor et al., 1992; Proctor & Wang, 1997; Verfaellie et al., 1988; Wascher & Wolber, 2004). Proctor and his colleagues interpreted these results as incompatible with a perceptual locus of the Simon effect, and to support the response-selection account.
