This test evaluated whether the standard deviation (SD) is proportional to the amount of processing-that is, mean reaction time (RT)--in a speeded cognitive task. We show that this evaluation is not a test of the model because its finding is a consequence of r...

Although it may be premature to expect answers to those questions, the author argues that they ultimately need to be addressed and answered before Greenwood's speculations can be considered true hypotheses rather than...
