Sequential Modulations of Interference Evoked by Processing Task-Irrelevant Stimulus Features
Wendt, Mike; Kluwe, Rainer H.; Peters, Alexandra
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, v32 n3 p644-667 Jun 2006
Compatibility level repetition benefits in interference paradigms have been taken to reflect enhanced processing selectivity in response to cognitive conflict elicited by a task-irrelevant stimulus feature. The authors demonstrate such sequential effects in the Simon task which (a) occur independent of previous behavioral conflict effects and (b) cannot be accounted for by selectivity enhancement. Furthermore, when presenting more than one type of irrelevant stimulus features, compatibility level repetition effects occurred in a type-specific manner. The results do not support the notion that cognitive conflict results in enhanced processing selectivity and favor a feature integration account.
