We describe a mathematically simple yet precise model of activation suppression that can
explain the negative-going delta plots often observed in standard Simon tasks. The model …

Since its introduction by BA Eriksen and CW Eriksen (Perception & Psychophysics, 16, 143–
49, 1974), the flanker task has emerged as one of the most important experimental tasks in …

Two experiments examined global and local behavioral adaptation effects within and across
the Eriksen task, where conflict is based on stimulus letter identities, and the Simon task …

It has been demonstrated that the Simon effect may be increased or reversed due to
proportion congruency manipulation, suggesting that learned spatial irrelevant stimulus …

Abstract In 1998, Tucker and Ellis found that keypress responses are faster when the task-
irrelevant orientation of a graspable object's handle corresponds to response hand location …

Two experiments examined whether the location-based Simon effect and word-or arrow-
based Simon effects, and their interaction, emerge in the same task situations by presenting …

Research suggests that–particularly–the execution of precision-demanding far-aiming tasks
necessitates an optimal coupling between perception and action. In this regard, the duration …

The aim of this thesis is to examine the time-course of task-irrelevant interference effects in
Navon letters. In Navon stimuli, a large letter is composed of small letters and results show …

The purpose of the thesis is to look at the activation and inhibition of motor affordances and
explore the functioning of affordances. In experiment 1, the main goal is to collect a norm we …

Inhibition of return (IOR) is an inhibitory aftereffect of visuospatial orienting, typically resulting
in slower responses to targets presented in an area that has been recently attended. This …
