Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether thebiological relevance of the stimulus could enhance taskirrelevantspatial information delivered by a pair of bilateralstimuli. Participants had to perform a Simon-like task in whichthey were required to respond to the color of two framedsquares (on and off-centered), two framed arrows, or twoschematic eyes by pressing one of two keys on the left and onthe right of the body midline. Results showed that regardless ofstimulus type responses towards the direction indicated by thestimuli (corresponding stimulus-response pairings) were fasterthan responses against it (non-corresponding stimulus-responsepairings). It is argued that the biological relevance of the stimulidoes not seem to play a crucial role in the automatic processingof stimulus inherent spatial properties.
