“…Moreover, there are various demonstrations that learning to respond to a stimulus set affects discrimination performance on the same set in another task (see Cantor, 1965, for a review). One may also speculate that recent findings of cognitive influences on word perception (e.g., O'Hara, 1980; Prinzmetal, 1990) and object recognition (e.g., Hoffmann & Zieβler, 1986) reflect influences of functional, action-related categories on perception, as already proposed by Ach (1921) and Heron (1957). Therefore, the considerations of Hasbroucq and Guiard may have their merits.…”

Perceptual accounts attribute the Simon effect to the correlation between relevant stimulus feature and response location (e.g., T. Hasbroucq & Y. Guiard, 1991). This account is questioned, and it is demonstrated that a Simon effect can be obtained without a stimulusresponse correlation (Experiment 1). Experiments 2 and 3 replicated this finding and showed that the relative size of stimuli and response labels and temporal overlap of warning signal and stimulus cannot account for why the effect was absent in Hasbroucq and Guiard's study. However, no Simon effect occurred in a close replication of Hasbroucq and Guiard's original experiment (Experiment 4). Participants' reports suggested that this was due to a special stimulus-coding strategy, and in fact, the effect reappeared with a slightly modified stimulus display (Experiment 5). These results provide strong evidence against a perceptual approach to the Simon effect and support response-related views instead.
