“…Second, in incompatible trials of the Simon task, the stimulus activates the spatially corresponding (hence, incorrect) response to a considerable degree, which is reflected in the lateralized readiness potential (LRP; De Jong et al, 1994;Sommer, Leuthold, & Hermanutz, 1993), a measure of hand-specific response activation, and sub-threshold motor activity in the wrong hand (Zachay, 1991). The finding that this activation is temporally stimulus-locked, not response-locked, implies that the point in time when irrelevant spatial information is transmitted to response stages does not depend on the duration of stimulus-identification processes and, thus, not on the point in time when the relevant information is transmitted.…”

According to a central claim of Kornblum's dimensional-overlap model, response-related processes do not start before stimulus-related processes have been completed, which implies an additive relationship between effects of stimulus-stimulus congruence and stimulus-response compatibility. Three experiments were conducted to test this prediction. In Exp. 1, additive effects of color-word congruence (Stroop effect) and irrelevant spatial S-R compatibility (Simon effect) were in fact obtained. However, interactions between congruence and compatibility were observed in Exp. 2, where flanker-target congruence was varied, and in Exp. 3, where inter-level congruence of multi-level letters was manipulated. It is argued that these findings are inconsistent with the seriality assumption of the dimensional-overlap model, but that they support models claiming a temporal overlap of stimulus and response processing instead.

“…It has been shown that the target P3 amplitude could be modulated by the arousal states of subjects due to natural or environmental factors (for a detailed review, see Polich and Kok, 1995). More difficult tasks produce larger P3 amplitudes due to the increased arousal states of the subjects (Sommer et al, 1993) and so does the presentation of motivating instructions (Carrillo-de-la-Pena and Cadaveira, 2000). In the current study, the overall larger P3 component for German musicians in the deviant condition is mainly originating from session 1 (first exposure to stimuli).…”

The perception of musical phrase structure: A cross-cultural ERP study

Electroencephalography (EEG) was used in a cross-cultural music study investigating phrase boundary perception. Chinese and German musicians performed a cultural categorization task under Chinese and Western music listening conditions. Western music was the major subject for both groups of musicians, while Chinese music was familiar to Chinese subjects only. By manipulating the presence of pauses between two phrases in the biphrasal melodies, EEG correlates for the perception of phrase boundaries were found in both groups under both music listening conditions. Between 450 and 600 ms, the music CPS (closure positive shift), which had been found in earlier studies with a false tone detection task, was replicated for the more global categorization task and for all combinations of subject group and musical style. At short latencies (100 and 450 ms post phrase boundary offset), EEG correlates varied as a function of musical styles and subject group. Both bottom-up (style properties of the music) and top-down (acculturation of the subjects) information interacted during this early processing stage. IntroductionMusic is a culturally specific phenomenon, which is certainly determined by ethnic background, social environment and traditions. However, the question to what extent the ability to understand and appreciate music is culturally dependent is still controversial. Ethnomusicologists usually assume that extensive experience of music within its cultural context is essential for its basic structural principles to be understood (Blacking, 1973). Lynch and Eilers (1992) explored musical tuning perception in infancy and adulthood and found that adult's perception of musical tuning was culturally specific, and infants between 6 and 12 months of age started to show the same culturally specific performance as adults did. In the same line, Drake and El Heni (2003) proved that acculturation, i.e., the passive exposure to a particular type of music since birth, influenced the perception and cognition of music. On the other hand, some psychological studies have proved the existence of universal, not culturally dependent, aspects of music perception (Castellano et al., 1984;Krumhansl, 1995Krumhansl, , 2000. Drake and Bertrand (2001) reviewed a number of rhythm perception and production studies and concluded that some aspects of temporal processing in music might be universal, in the sense that they function in a similar manner irrespective of an individual's cultural exposure and experience. Likewise, in a study of the cross-cultural emotion perception in music,

“…When, in a given trial, the spatial stimulus and response codes correspond, this facilitates S-R translation and speeds up the response, whereas noncorresponding codes lead to a response conflict because the incorrect response code is erroneously activated. In fact, electrophysiological studies have shown that presenting a stimulus in a Simon-type task more or less automatically induces response-related activation in the spatially corresponding hand, such as lateralized readiness potentials (De Jong, Liang, & Lauber, 1994;Eimer, 1995;Sommer, Leuthold, & Hermanutz, 1993) or subthreshold electromyographical potentials (Zachay, 1991). This suggests that the codes of spatial stimuli and responses overlap, which again implies that perception and action operate on the same spatial maps (Rizzolatti, Riggio, & Sheliga, 1994).…”

It has been argued that two distinct maps of visual space are formed: a cognitive map that is susceptible to illusions, and a motor map that represents the physical world veridically. In the present study, subjects responded to a nonspatial attribute of a visual target stimulus by pressing a left or right key, while an illusory horizontal displacement of the target was induced. A Simon-type effect was obtained to the induced target motion or position shift-that is, responses were faster when the illusory target motion or location corresponded to the response position. Further experiments indicated that the observed effects cannot be accounted for by attentional shifts. These results suggest that the content of the cognitive map does not only influence perceptual judgments but is also responsible for the automatic activation of response codes. In other words, perception and action seem to be fed by a common, cognitively penetrable, spatial representation.
