According to action control theories, all features of a stimulus - even if completely task-irrelevant - and the response given to it are temporarily stored in so-called event files. The renewed presentation of any part of it is thought to lead to the retrieval of the entire event file, affecting performance. The aim of the present study was to see whether repeating a component of the event file really retrieves the whole previous event. In the current study, a prime-probe paradigm was used, in which the targets could repeat or change their form (response-relevant feature) and they were interspersed with either vertical or horizontal stripes (response-irrelevant feature). In addition, stimuli were presented in different colors. A colored fixation cross was presented shortly before the probe display. Crucially, the target in the prime display and the fixation cross could appear in the same or a different color. We hypothesized that repeating the prime color in the fixation cross would start retrieval of the prime event. There was a significant binding effect between response and orientation of stripes; additionally, a significant interaction between response and fixation prime congruency suggested that fixation color retrieved the prime response. Yet, the three-way interaction of the factors response, orientation of stripes, and fixation prime congruency was not significant. The results are in line with the idea of binary bindings, but also allow to suggest the potential existence of two distinct retrieval processes working in parallel.
