Difference in accuracy or reaction time
researchgate.net
- The Simon effect is the difference in accuracy or reaction time between trials in which stimulus and response are on the same side and trials in which they are on opposite sides, with responses being generally slower and less accurate when the stimulus and response are on opposite sides.

The Simon effect is the difference in accuracy or reaction time between trials in which stimulus and response are on the same side and trials in which they are on opposite sides, with responses being generally slower and less accurate when the stimulus and response are on opposite sides.
The Simon Effect refers to the phenomenon where participants in experiments show faster reaction times when pressing a button on the side corresponding to the location of a stimulus, even when the location is irrelevant to the task. This effect demonstrates that even incidental features of stimuli can influence response compatibility.
In essence, it shows that people respond faster and more accurately if there is a match between stimulus and response features (e.g., location, when for example stimulus and response are both located on the left side of one’s body). The effect is also known as a stimulus-response compatibility effect.
Oct 7, 2020 · This spatial interference, known as Simon effect, is obtained with visual (Craft & Simon, 1970), auditory (Simon & Small, 1969), and somatosensory (Hasbroucq & Guiard, 1992) stimulation, regardless of whether the participants respond by using hand, foot or eye movements (Leuthold & Schröter, 2006).

The Simon effect was proposed by JR Simon in the late ’60s, and consists of responding faster and more accurately when the stimulus we must detect appears in the same relative space as the response to be emitted.
Mar 31, 2023 · The difficulty of responding to stimulus-response incompatible stimuli is often referred to as "the Simon effect". J. R. Simon wrote an influential article on this topic.
In the present study, we review the main theoretical explanations of both kinds of effects and the available neuroscientific studies that investigated the neural underpinnings of the cognitive processes underlying the Simon effect proper and its sequential modulation using electroencephalogram (EEG) and event-related brain potentials (ERP ...
