Psychology & Neuroscience, Vol 17(4), Dec 2024, 348-364; doi:10.1037/pne0000344Objective: Visual cueing and induction of response are well-described features in compatibility effects literature. However, little is known about the effect of relevant cueing to the task paired with correct induction of responses for compatibility effects. Method: One hundred fourteen participants were divided into four Simon effect experiments. Each experiment explored the separate effects of target-overlapped neutral visual cueing (Experiment 1, n = 37), centralized neutral visual cueing (Experiment 2, n = 18), target-overlapped relevant visual cueing (Experiment 3, n = 19), and centralized relevant visual cueing (Experiment 4, n = 40). All experiments consisted of a baseline experimental block with no visual cue, a randomized visual cue block, and a correct response induction visual cue block. Results: No differences between experiments for baseline Simon effect were observed. Results from Experiments 1 and 3 evidenced direct effect of target-overlapped visual cue over the Simon effect. However, while in Experiment 1, a reduction of the Simon effect was observed in the induction visual cue block, in Experiment 3, an increase of the Simon effect was registered for the same experimental block. Conclusions: Results from Experiment 1 confirm an attentional hypothesis of predictive action over previously attended spatial locus, whereas results from Experiment 3 suggest a referential coding of the effector as a fundamental feature for the modulation of the Simon effect. These results evidence a distinctive cognitive modulation effect of action anticipation when considering the visual cue semantics predictive value for response selection.
