Reactions toward the source of stimulation
Abstract
Sixty-four 5s used their right hand to move a control handle to the right or left from the midline of the body depending on the ear in which they heard a 1,000cps tone. The 5s moved the handle toward the side of the ear stimulated for one block of SO trials (25 to each ear in a random sequence) and away from the side of the ear stimulated for another block. Reactions toward the stimulus source were significantly faster than reactions away. Reaction time was faster for reactions to the right, while movement time was faster for movements to the left.

In Experiment 1, the task-irrelevant spatial position of the stimulus interacted with response times, as predicted by the Simon effect.
“the spatial position of the stimulus was task irrelevant and yet it still interacted with response times, which is exactly what is predicted by the Simon effect”
From Is automatic imitation a specialized form of stimulus–response compatibility? Dissociating imitative and spatial compatibilities (2012) · cites this paper as Simon, 1969
The most common measure of imitation interference is confounded by spatial compatibility, the tendency to respond faster to a stimulus when it is on the same side of space as the response.
“Moreover, the most common measure of imitation interference is confounded by spatial compatibility or the tendency to respond faster to a stimulus when it is on the same side of space as the response (e.g., Simon, 1969).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
