Factors Effecting Choice Reaction Time-2

Factors Effecting Choice Reaction Time-2

• Stimulus-Response Compatibility
  • The more compatible (the more similar) the response and the response key layout is to the stimuli, the faster and more accurate are the responses. (Fitts & Seeger, 1953).
  • Sometimes compatibility is determined by cultural norms (population stereotypes). e.g. what side is the hot water control and which way do you turn it for on?
• Practice
  • Practice reduces reaction time, and the more alternatives, the more practice helps.
• Apply to the conflict on number of alternatives
