Abstract

Sixty-four Ss were given training and test trials on a modified RT task to determine the effects of the relative and absolute strengths of competing responses on the speed of the response that occurs in a conflict situation. The results indicated that the response occurring in the conflict situation was significantly (p <. 01) faster than either of the competing responses in nonconflict situations, and also suggested that the speed of the response in the conflict situation increases as an exponential function of the absolute strengths of the compe ting responses.
