“…Thus, on both occasions, the SP component seems to reflect control processes implemented to resolve interference due to a task conflict. In contrast, conflict adaptation in both the Simon and flanker tasks is typically associated with the N2 component, and this component is interpreted as interference due to a response conflict (Clayson & Larson, 2012;Spapé et al, 2011). Importantly, the N2 component was not present for the bivalency effect, which is consistent with previous findings that demonstrated that the bivalency effect occurs whether or not a response conflict is present .…”

“…In ERP research, three components that represent a signature of interference are typically discussed: the N2, the N450, and the sustained potential (SP). The N2 component represents a negative fronto-central deflection that emerges between 250 and 350 ms after stimulus onset (Clayson & Larson, 2011;Gehring, Gratton, Coles, & Donchin, 1992;Kopp, Rist, & Mattler, 1996;Spapé, Band, & Hommel, 2011). The N450 is also a frontocentral negative-going deflection that peaks approximately 450 ms after stimulus onset (Larson, Kaufman, & Perlstein, 2009;Liotti, Woldroff, Perez, & Mayberg, 2000;Markela-Lerenc et al, 2004;West, 2003;West, Bowry, & McConville, 2004;West, Jakubek, Wymbs, Perry, & Moore, 2005).…”

When bivalent stimuli (i.e., stimuli with relevant features for two different tasks) occur occasionally among univalent stimuli, performance is slowed on subsequent univalent stimuli even if they have no overlapping stimulus features. This finding has been labeled the bivalency effect. It indexes an adjustment of cognitive control, but the underlying mechanism is not well understood yet. The purpose of the present study was to shed light on this question, using event-related potentials. We used a paradigm requiring predictable alternations between three tasks, with bivalent stimuli occasionally occurring on one task. The results revealed that the bivalency effect elicited a sustained parietal positivity and a frontal negativity, a neural signature that is typical for control processes implemented to resolve interference. We suggest that the bivalency effect reflects interference, which may be caused by episodic context binding.

“…These large switch effects on anterior N2 and parietal P3 are not specific to task switching paradigms, but are also evident in interference paradigms. For instance, N2 is larger for high versus low interference trials in Eriksen flanker and Simon tasks (Gehring, Gratton, Coles, & Donchin, 1992;Spape, Band, & Hommel, 2011), and P3 reduces with increasing attentional and working memory load (Donchin, Miller, & Farwell, 1986). Thus, the posttarget N2/P3b complex in task switching shows a pattern of modulation similar to that seen in classic interference paradigms (see Karayanidis & Jamadar, 2014, for review).…”

“…It demonstrates the automatic impact of irrelevant spatial information on the induction of interfering action tendencies against people's will and has become a classic behavioral paradigm used to investigate cognitive control in laboratory studies (Hommel 2011;Spapé et al 2011). Simon studies have provided broad evidence that the Simon effect results from interference in the cognitive process (De Jong et al 1994;Leuthold 2011;Mansfield et al 2013;Martín-Arévalo et al 2015;Melara et al 2008;Wang and Weekes 2014;Wittfoth et al 2006).…”

The Simon effect indicates that the reaction time (RT) is shorter when the stimulus and response locations are congruent than when they are not. This study used a priming-target paradigm to explore the emotion-priming Simon effect with event-related potential techniques. The technique of residue iteration decomposition was employed to analyze the lateralized readiness potential (LRP) component, which contributed to disentangling the overlap between LRP and N2 central contralateral in the Simon task with horizontal stimulus-response arrangements. The behavioral result revealed significant Simon effect in RT. In the neural process, the Simon effect was reflected by both the stimulus-locked LRP (S-LRP) and the response-locked LRP (R-LRP), with the incongruent condition showing longer onset latency, larger Gratton-dip, and smaller negative-going deflection of S-LRP and smaller negative-going deflection of R-LRP. These findings suggest that the interference of irrelevant location information is located at the perceptual-encoding (indicated by S-LRP) and response-execution stages (indicated by R-LRP), providing evidence for both the perceptual-interference and response-interference accounts. However, the further linear regression result signaled that the Simon effect might be more closely related to the response-execution stage than the perceptual-encoding stage. In addition, the influence of emotion on the Simon effect was salient only in the incongruent condition, showing longer onset latency of S-LRP and larger Gratton-dip of R-LRP in the negative emotion-priming condition than in the neutral emotion-priming condition, which revealed that the emotional interference effect arose from the stages of perceptual encoding and early response execution only when the locations of a stimulus and the corresponding response were incongruent.
