在情感西蒙研究中，参与者要根据非情感刺激特征（即，相关刺激特征）而忽略所呈现的刺激的效价（即，不相关的刺激特征）。De Houwer和Eelen（1998）表明，选择正确反应的时间受到反应效价和刺激（不相关）效价之间匹配的影响。在情感西蒙的研究中，已经报道到现在，只有单词被用作刺激和相关的刺激功能总是语法类别的话。我们报告了四个实验，在这些实验中，我们研究了情感西蒙效应的一般性。显着的情感西蒙效应被发现时，语义类别，语法类别，和字母的情况下的话是相关的，当拍摄的对象的语义类别是相关的，当参与者被要求给予非语言的方法或回避反应的基础上的语法类别的话。结果还表明，情感西蒙效应的大小取决于相关特征的性质。
In affective Simon studies, participants are to select between a positive and negative response on the basis of a nonaffective stimulus feature (i.e., relevant stimulus feature) while ignoring the valence of the presented stimuli (i.e., irrelevant stimulus feature). De Houwer and Eelen (1998) showed that the time to select the correct response is influenced by the match between the valence of the response and the (irrelevant) valence of the stimulus. In the affective Simon studies that have been reported until now, only words were used as stimuli and the relevant stimulus feature was always the grammatical category of the words. We report four experiments in which we examined the generality of the affective Simon effect. Significant affective Simon effects were found when the semantic category, grammatical category, and letter-case of words was relevant, when the semantic category of photographed objects was relevant, and when participants were asked to give nonverbal approach or avoidance responses on the basis of the grammatical category of words. Results also showed that the magnitude of the affective Simon effect depended on the nature of the relevant feature.
