Abstract

By relating Ss' inspection time estimates to measures of their average evoked potentials (AEPs), the present study addressed the issues concerning the stage or stages of information processing which the measure of inspection time (IT) may reflect. Sixteen Ss' event-related potentials (ERPs) were collected while they were engaged in performing a visual inspection time task. As expected, Ss' IT estimates correlated positively with the temporal parameters of the P200 component of AEPs ( r = 0.44, P <0.05 for P200 T; r = 0.55, df = 13, P <0.01 for P200 latency when age was controlled). These results were consistent with the finding obtained in a previous study and supported the view that the IT measure indexes the speed of the input process that encodes information into short-term memory (STM) from a sensory register.
