When two participants sitting side-by-side are engaged in complementary go/no-go tasks, each participant's performance is better when the stimulus is presented on one's own side rather than the other actor's side (joint Simon effect). This study investigated the roles of perception-related (target stimulus assignment) and action-related (response button) complementarity in the joint Simon effect. Half of the pairs were subjected to full complementary go/no-go tasks where each participant had a different target color (e.g., one responded for red and the other for green). The other half shared the same target color (e.g., both responded for red). Thus only response button complementarity, but not task complementarity, was maintained in the latter condition. Similar joint Simon effects were observed for both conditions. The results indicate that the adjacent partner's action, rather than the task, is co-represented in the joint Simon effect.
