N2  - Hommel (2010-this issue) has reviewed the major lines of research and ongoing controversies on and around the Simon effect. Van der Lubbe and Abrahamse (2010-this issue) take issue with Hommel's assessment of the attention-shifting account of the Simon effect and of the connection between this account and the premotor theory of attention. This rejoinder argues that van der Lubbe and Abrahamse's criticism is off target, incoherent, and not contributing to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the Simon effect. In particular, van der Lubbe and Abrahamse confuse the undisputed role of attention in stimulus selection with the disputed role of attention in the generation of location codes, and they fail to appreciate the structural incompatibility between the attention-shifting account and the premotor theory of attention.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
