Abstract
Abstract The possible effects of normal involuntary blinking upon reaction time measures were investigated through a comparison of blink rates and the incidence of blinking in relation to preparatory signal, response signal, and the subject's response. Analysis of the data revealed that: (1) the frequency of blinking was markedly decreased during reaction time responses, (2) blinking was generally inhibited between presentation of the preparatory signal and the subject's response, and (3) blinks coincided with presentation of the response signal in only 0.1 per cent of the cases. The results indicated that blinking has little effect upon reaction time measures.
