Symons ( 1990 ) had findings that went against the norm when he was unable to find evidence of self-schematicity in the self-reference effect.

In addition to investigating the self-reference effect in regards to schemata consistent information, Strube et al . discussed how counter schemata information relates to this framework.

Theories of intimacy and personal relationships might suggest that the self-reference effect is affected by the closeness of a relationship with the other used as a target.

The implication that the prefrontal cortex is involved in the regulation of unique internal personality characteristics illustrates how it may be an important component of the self-reference effect.

The development of a sense of self and the understanding that one is separate and uniquely different from others is vital in the development of the self-reference effect advantage.

However, while individuals with ASD's showed smaller self-reference effects than the control group, some evidence of a self-reference effect was evident in some cases.

In addition to areas of the prefrontal cortex, research has suggested that there are areas within the parietal lobe that also play a role in activating the self-reference effect.

Second, the previous research discussed suggests that the self-reference effect is due to some combination of organizational, elaborative, mental cueing or evaluative properties of self-referential encoding tasks.

Groups are also a major part of the self; therefore we attribute the role that different groups play in our self-concept also play a role in the self-reference effect.
