RELATION BETWEEN S-R COMPATIBILITY AND REACTION TIME IN INFORMATION PROCESSING

Stimulus Discr1minability and S-r Compatibility: Evidence for Independent Effects in Choice Reaction Time

In contrast to flexible capacity theories of information-processing behavior, discrete stage models generally assume that the functioning of one stage (e.g., stimulus discrimination) proceeds independently of the demands on some other stage (e.g., response selection). These alternatives were tested by factorially varying stimulus similarity and stimulus-response compatibility in a speeded brigh...

Relation between feelings of fatigue, reaction time and work productivity.

Taking into consideration the limited amount of research that has been done focussing on fatigue among workers in Indonesia, the writer has taken it upon herself to investigate the indicators of chronic fatigue of the concrete block and sewer pipe cast workers of a place located in Sleman District of Yogyakarta. The purpose of this study was to prepare an instrument to evaluate the feelings of ...

Relation between reaction time and reach errors during visuomotor adaptation.

Adaptation of reaching movements to visuomotor transformations is generally thought to involve implicit or procedural learning. However, there is evidence that explicit or cognitive processes can also play a role (Redding and Wallace, 2006 [31]). For example, the early phase of adaptation to a visuomotor rotation appears to involve spatial working memory processes linked to mental rotation (Ang...

S-R compatibility: spatial characteristics of stimulus and response codes.

The present paper reports the results of two experiments designed to demonstrate the utility of the concept of stimulus-response compatibility in the development of a theory of perceptual-motor behavior. A task involves compatible S-R relations to the extent that the ensemble of stimulus and response combinations comprising the task results in a high rate of information transfer. Admittedly, de...
