Abstract

Speed of information processing is measured in terms of reaction time (RT) and movement time (MT) to five stimulus displays which differ in the amount of information transmitted, over a range from 0 to 3 bits of information. RT, but not MT, increases as a linear function of the number of bits in the stimulus display. RT and MT show reliable individual differences which are significantly correlated with intelligence as measured by Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices.

    Finally, not all studies attempt to differentiate movement time from reaction time, and those which attempt to do so (e.g., Jensen, 1982) generally use apparatus which requires rather gross movement of a heavy limb. Either of these approaches will probably introduce measurement error, given that movement times are uncorrelated with g (Jensen & Munroe, 1974). The first of these problems can be solved by fitting an ex-Gaussian distribution to reaction time data (Luce, 1986) rather than using the mean and standard deviation.

  • Respiratory modulation of intensity ratings and psychomotor response times to acoustic startle stimuli

    Citation Excerpt :

    Participants were instructed to keep the home button pressed throughout the experiment, except for responding to a startle stimulus by pressing the response button. As in previous studies [20,21,25,35], the time from onset of stimulus presentation to releasing the home button was defined as ‘reaction time’ (RT), representing the pre-motor component of the response time, i.e. the cognitive processing of the response stimulus. The interval between releasing the home button and pressing the response button was defined as ‘movement time’ (MT), representing the motor component of the response time.

    Moreover, although the test was initially normalized in China nearly 30 years ago, such a time span is not unusual. For instance, studies conducted in Japan in the 1990s (e.g., Lynn & Shigehisa, 1991) used norms established by Jensen & Munro (1979) over ten years prior. Nevertheless, we recognize the need to compensate for using a nearly 30-year-old norm in our Raven test.

  • Self-reference in action: Arm-movement responses are enhanced in perceptual matching

    2018, Acta Psychologica
    Citation Excerpt :

    This study tested whether the self-reference effect (SRE) can influence the execution of forward-motion rapid-aiming arm-movement responses. A simple two-handed motor-variant of Sui et al.'s (2012) shape-label (self vs. stranger) perceptual-matching procedure using a ‘home’ and target-key set-up (Jensen & Munro, 1979; Praamstra et al., 2014) was devised to measure RT (from stimulus onset to release of the home key) and MT separately over a 14 cm-distance (from home-button-release to target-key depression). Self- and stranger-related trials were compared, and a distinct advantage in the speed (MTs) of correctly-executed responses on self-related trials was found.
