Here, we report data suggesting that this pattern does not hold for humanrobot interactions. Participants performed a social Simon task with a robot, and afterwards indicated the degree of selfother overlap using the Inclusion of the Other in the Self (IOS) scale. We found no overall correlation between the social Simon e®ect (as an indirect International Journal of Humanoid Robotics Vol. 10, No. 1 (2013) 1350015 (13 pages) ° c World Scienti¯c Publishing Company DOI: 10.1142/S0219843613500151 1350015-1
