Description: Three hybrid prime-Simon experiments investigating the hypothesis that low-level, domain-specific sensorimotor activation and inhibition processes and high-level meta-cognitive processes affect separate aspects of performance in these tasks. Exp1: Hybrid prime-Simon task with four response alternatives, trials alternating between horizontal (left-right) and vertical (up-down) orientation. Participants: 72 young, healthy adults. Exp2: Hybrid prime-Simon task with masked primes, presented either subliminally or supraliminally. Participants: 45 young, healthy adults. Exp3: Hybrid prime-Simon task with young and older adults. Participants: 51 healthy adults, 23 young, 28 older.
