    Attention control and susceptibility to hypnosis.Cristina Iani, Federico Ricci, Giulia Baroni & Sandro Rubichi - 2009 - Consciousness and Cognition 18 (4):856-863.
    The present work aimed at assessing whether the interference exerted by task-irrelevant spatial information is comparable in high- and low-susceptible individuals and whether it may be eliminated by means of a specific posthypnotic suggestion. To this purpose high- and low-susceptible participants were tested using a Simon-like interference task after the administration of a suggestion aimed at preventing the processing of the irrelevant spatial information conveyed by the stimuli. The suggestion could be administered either in the absence or following a standard (...)

    The Simon Effect in Action: Planning and/or On‐Line Control Effects?Claudia Scorolli, Antonello Pellicano, Roberto Nicoletti, Sandro Rubichi & Umberto Castiello - 2015 - Cognitive Science 39 (5):972-991.
    Choice reaction tasks are performed faster when stimulus location corresponds to response location. This spatial stimulus–response compatibility effect affects performance at the level of action planning and execution. However, when response selection is completed before movement initiation, the Simon effect arises only at the planning level. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether when a precocious response selection is requested, the Simon effect can be detected on the kinematics characterizing the online control phase of a non-ballistic movement. Participants (...)

    Hypnotic susceptibility, baseline attentional functioning, and the Stroop task.Sandro Rubichi, Federico Ricci, Roberto Padovani & Lorenzo Scaglietti - 2005 - Consciousness and Cognition 14 (2):296-303.
    According to the theoretical framework relating hypnosis to attention, baseline attentional functioning in highly hypnotizable individuals should be more efficient than in low hypnotizable individuals. However, previous studies did not find differences in Stroop-like tasks in which the measure indicative of the Stroop interference effect was based on response latencies. This study was designed to determine whether subjects with different levels of hypnotic susceptibility show differences in baseline attentional functioning. To assess this hypothesis, high, medium, and low hypnotizable subjects performed (...)

    Exploring the Role of Action Consequences in the Handle-Response Compatibility Effect.Elisa Scerrati, Stefania D’Ascenzo, Luisa Lugli, Cristina Iani, Sandro Rubichi & Roberto Nicoletti - 2020 - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 14:550194.
    Previous research investigating handle-response compatibility effects with graspable objects used different categories of objects as stimuli, regardless of their specific, intrinsic characteristics. The current study explores whether different types of objects’ characteristics may elicit different types of spatial compatibility, that is, handle-response and response-effect compatibility as well as their potential interaction. In Experiment 1, objects having a graspable handle opposite to either a visible functional component (i.e.,handle-function objects: a teapot) or a latent functional component (handle-only objects: a pitcher lacking the (...)

    Does a look of fear prompt to act? The effects of gaze and face emotional expression on manipulable objects.Elisa Scerrati, Sandro Rubichi & Cristina Iani - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Gaze direction is an important social cue for understanding the intentions of other people. Indeed, interacting with others requires the ability to encode their current focus of attention in order to predict their future actions. Previous studies have showed that when asked to detect or identify a target, people are faster if shown a gaze oriented toward rather than away from that target. Most importantly, there is evidence that the emotion conveyed by the face with the averted gaze matters. We (...)

    A developmental outlook on the role of cognition and emotions in youth volleyball and artistic gymnastics.Elisa Bisagno, Alessia Cadamuro, Sandro Rubichi, Claudio Robazza & Francesca Vitali - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Developmental and cognitive psychology recently started to take an interest in the sports domain, exploring the role of either cognitive functions or emotions in youth sport. However, to the extent that cognition and emotions are inextricably linked, studying them jointly from a developmental perspective could inform on their interplay in determining performance in different sports. This research examined the role of general cognitive abilities, attentional style, and emotions, in predicting performance in youth volleyball and artistic gymnastics. A total of 218 (...)
