Abstract
Abstract Two groups of 24 college age men volunteers from activity classes performed a choice reaction time task. One group performed using a simple 4-in. movement from the reaction button to the appropriate response button. The other group performed using a complex movement in which they first moved forward 12 in. to slap a button and then returned to the appropriate response button. Both groups performed 20 trials under each choice condition (1, 2, and 4 choices). For the complex movement tasks the one choice reaction time was significantly faster than the multiple choice reaction times which did not differ significantly. The complex movement group was somewhat slower in movement time under multiple choice conditions. As the number of choices increased the effect of increasing movement complexity on reaction time lessened.
