The influence of cognitive load and social context on co-representation in joint actions.
Article in Cognitive processing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Co-representation refers to the phenomenon where individuals integrate others' behaviors into their own representations during joint actions. The impact of cooperation and competition on co-representation has long been controversial. This study employed the joint Simon task to explore the influence of social context (cooperative vs. competitive) on co-representation under varying cognitive loads. The findings reveal a significant Simon effect in the solo Simon task group, cooperative group and competition group (Experiment 1), regardless of the presence of additional cognitive load, but not in the solo go-nogo task group (Experiment 2). However, Experiments 1 and 2 both showed that there was no significant interaction between social context and compatibility on RT. Moreover, there was no significant change in Simon effect under different cognitive loads in both cooperative group and competition group in Experiment 1 and 2. Our findings demonstrate that individuals maintain co-representation of co-actors' behaviors in both cooperative and competitive contexts. However, despite the additional cognitive load, individuals continue to co-represent others in both cooperation and competition, suggesting that the cognitive load introduced in current study is not sufficient to disrupt the co-representation. We discuss these findings in the context of the JSE's task co-representation theory and integrated social-cognitive accounts.
