Abstract
A ten-choice reaction time (RT) experiment employing two subjects ( Ss) is described. One S completed the experiment with stimulus factors held constant and response factors balanced out, while the other S completed the experiment under the reverse conditions. The results give strong evidence of an inverted U shaped relationship between RT and position of the individual stimuli and responses within their respective arrays. The findings were interpreted as supporting the view that performance in choice RT tasks is mediated by internalised representations of the stimulus and response arrays. The properties of these internalised representations are consistent with those found in other sensory discrimination tasks, and it is argued that they account for the basic form of the relationship between RT and number of stimulus alternatives.
