Response Task

Errors in a serial choice-reaction time experiment employing two-finger chord responses to alphabetic stimuli are shown to be distributed in a significantly non-random fashion. Two factors are postulated which are relevant to prediction of the error response. These are the presence or absence of a common finger, and the difference in finger separation, between the actual and the required response. It is suggested that the chord response is coded in terms of a pattern (the distance between the two response components). Responses which mirror the correct response about the centre of the hand are also shown to be significantly more frequent.

Reaction Time Experiment

A choice-reaction-time experiment is reported in which Ss named visually displayed numerals. Choice conditions were varied by presenting 6 different sets of stimuli containing either 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 stimulus alternatives. Reaction time was a function of the number of stimulus alternatives. Response latency, measured from onset of S's voice, increased as the number of stimulus alternatives increased.
