S. Kornblum, THE WAY IRRELEVANT DIMENSIONS ARE PROCESSED DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY OVERLAP WITH - THE CASE OF STROOP-LIKE AND SIMON-LIKE STIMULI, Psychological research, 56(3), 1994, pp. 130-135
According to the dimensional-overlap model (Kornblum, 1992), irrelevan
t dimensions that overlap with a stimulus dimension (e.g., Stroop-type
stimuli) are processed by a different stage than those that overlap w
ith the response (e.g., Simon-type stimuli). We show that the effects
of these two types of overlap are additive, thus supporting the model'
s hypothesis. We also show that the time course of facilitation and in
terference is different for these two types of overlap.
