“…Following its initial report in the context of an Eriksen flanker task (Gratton et al, 1992), it was replicated in a wide variety of tasks, including the color–word (e.g., Kerns et al, 2004), numerical (e.g., Cohen Kadosh et al, 2011), and gender face-word Stroop (e.g., Egner et al, 2008), the social (e.g., Kunde et al, 2012) and spatial Simon (e.g., Stürmer et al, 2002), the parity judgment (e.g., the spatial–numerical association of response codes or SNARC effect; Pfister et al, 2013), the picture–word interference (e.g., Duthoo et al, in revision), the perceptual fluency (e.g., Dreisbach and Fischer, 2011), the prime-target (e.g., Kunde and Wühr, 2006), and affective priming task (e.g., Frings and Wentura, 2008). Also in studies on arithmetics, difficulty arising from inappropriate strategy execution is susceptible to sequential, trial-to-trial performance adjustments (e.g., Uittenhove and Lemaire, 2012; Lemaire and Hinault, 2013).…”
