Abstract
Most actions we perform in daily life consist of multiple movement elements. In two Simon task experiments, we investigated the impact of stimulus–response compatibility on planning and execution of action sequences. A total of 38 participants were instructed to perform action sequences consisting of multiple key presses (two to four key presses) as response to a left- or right-presented colored stimulus. Within one block, the requested action sequences were of the same length but differed in their spatial features. The results show Simon effects in reaction time for up to four-element long action sequences. The effects became especially apparent when participants were forced to finish action planning before action execution by the implementation of a no-go condition (Experiment 2). Simon effects in movement time emerged for two movement element actions, only. That is, dimensional overlap between spatial features embedded in an action sequence as well as in an imperative stimulus can affect action initiation.
