“…These findings show that social factors do have some impact on how people represent their own action vis-à-vis those of others. This conclusion is also supported by the observation that the JSE is increased in members of a collectivistic religion (Colzato et al, 2012a) and in individuals that were primed to attend to the social interdependence of their self (Colzato et al, 2012b) or a divergent style of thinking (Colzato et al, 2013). …”

“…Likewise, the spatial response coding account does not require any social attribution processes, so that it can easily deal with the demonstration of reliable JSEs in patient populations in which processes are impaired (see Patient Studies). At the same time, however, the account fails to explain why JSEs should depend on the agent's mood (Kuhbandner et al, 2010), religious attitude (Colzato et al, 2012a), self-construal (Colzato et al, 2012b), style of thinking (Colzato et al, 2013) or on the personal relationship between actor and co-actor (Hommel et al, 2009). …”

“…Taken together, the principle of the referential coding account can be generalized to the following assumption: Self- and other-generated events are cognitively represented by means of codes describing their perceptual features and the perceivable effects they create (e.g., attitude, color, direction, emotions, location, orientation, shape, speed and any other personal and non-personal characteristics; Dolk et al, 2011; Colzato et al, 2012a,b; Hommel, 2013). The degree of similarity would then not necessarily be a qualitative, but rather a gradual one (Hommel, 2013).…”

The social or joint Simon effect has been developed to investigate how and to what extent people mentally represent their own and other persons' action/task and how these cognitive representations influence an individual's own behavior when interacting with another person. Here, we provide a review of the available evidence and theoretical frameworks. Based on this review, we suggest a comprehensive theory that integrates aspects of earlier approaches–the Referential Coding Account. This account provides an alternative to the social interpretation of the (joint) go-nogo Simon effect (aka the social Simon effect) and is able to integrate seemingly opposite findings on joint action.

“…We further investigated whether there exist gender specific differences regarding this correlation. Based on human-human interaction studies 5 we expected to find a positive correlation between both measures. Over all participants, as well as for the group of male and the group of female participants, we found a significant SSE, i.e.…”

In human-human interactions a consciously perceived high degree of self-other overlap is associated with a higher degree of integration of the other person's actions into one's own cognitive representations. Here, we report data suggesting that this pattern does not hold for human-robot interactions. Participants performed a social Simon Task with a robot, and afterwards indicated the degree of self-other overlap with the help of the Inclusion of the Other in the Self (IOS) scale. We found no overall correlation between the social Simon Effect (as an indirect measure of self-other overlap) and the IOS score (as a direct measure of self-other overlap). For female participants we even observed a negative correlation. Our findings suggest that conscious and unconscious evaluations of a robot may come to different results, and hence point to the importance of carefully 1 manuscript_pdf Click here to download Manuscript: stenzel-ijhr_revised.pdf

“…This assumption is based on the Theory of Event Coding (TEC, Hommel, Müsseler, Aschersleben, & Prinz, 2001;Hommel, 2004), according to which the cognitive system represents both perceived and produced events by integrated networks of codes of the features of these events. Importantly, TEC does not discriminate between social and non-social or selfrelated and self-unrelated events (Hommel, Colzato, & van den Wildenberg, 2009), and it allows for various degrees of event integration, including the integration of self and other (Colzato, Zech, Hommel, Verdonschot, van den Wildenberg, Hsieh, 2012). Second, we assumed that the degree of event integration depends on the present metacontrol state.…”

Metacontrol and body ownership: divergent thinking increases the virtual hand illusion

The virtual hand illusion (VHI) paradigm demonstrates that people tend to perceive agency and bodily ownership for a virtual hand that moves in synchrony with their own movements. Given that this kind of effect can be taken to reflect self-other integration (i.e., the integration of some external, novel event into the representation of oneself), and given that self-other integration has been previously shown to be affected by metacontrol states (biases of information processing towards persistence/selectivity or flexibility/integration), we tested whether the VHI varies in size depending on the metacontrol bias. Persistence and flexibility biases were induced by having participants carry out a convergent thinking (Remote Associates) task or divergent-thinking (Alternate Uses) task, respectively, while experiencing a virtual hand moving synchronously or asynchronously with their real hand. Synchrony-induced agency and ownership effects were more pronounced in the context of divergent thinking than in the context of convergent thinking, suggesting that a metacontrol bias towards flexibility promotes self-other integration.
