In the field of action control, stimulus-response binding and retrieval processes are assumed. When occurring in a common stimulus-response episode, features of both stimulus and response are integrated into a common event file. This event file is retrieved when at least one of the features involved is repeated. If features of the previous and current episodes only partially match, interference between the retrieved previous and current response must be resolved, resulting in performance costs (measurable as S-R binding effects). One feature for which binding effects occur, but which seems to differ from other features like color or shape in certain situations, is location. In two experiments (cumulative n = 77), we tried to make a context-dependent distinction between different forms of the feature location and its different implications for binding processes.
