Results indicated that subjects in each source of blame group responded with significantly less amplitude and speed following interruption than noninterruption. (Authors)

This study investigated the effects of 15 second client response latencies upon the speech and silence behavior of four experimentally naive counselors in advanced training. The results indicate that a coached client was able to effect change unobtrusively in the speech and silence behavior of counselors. (Author)

Designed to reassess the relationship between response speed, errors, and IQ for both sexes, and to evaluate the findings in relation to the overall pattern of data accumulated from previous investigations. (Author/AJ)

Reports a series of three exploratory studies. (WY)

Concludes that children, as well as adults, are able to expand or contract the breadth of their attentional focus in accordance with task demands. Suggests there is a developmental change in the efficiency with which a stimulus presented in an otherwise empty field can be located. (Author/RH)

Presents preliminary data on how, during the execution of visually guided hand movements, differences in response time between children with and without signs of minor neurological dysfunction may be related to differences in the spatio-temporal organization of their movements. (MP)

Forty-eight female university students participated in a reaction-time experiment in which challenging goal instructions were manipulated under conditions of minimal feedback. Findings extend Locke's views of the effects of personal goals on subsequent performance to applications involving minimal implicit knowlege of results. (Author/MP)

A method is developed for estimating the response time distribution of an unobserved component in a two-component serial model. The estimate of the component's density function is constrained to be only unimodal and non-negative. Numerical examples suggest the method can yield reasonably accurate estimates with sample sizes of 300. (Author/CTM)

In choice reaction time (RT) tasks, the response of the appropriate finger by mentally retarded Ss is often accompanied by associated movements of responding and nonresponding fingers. To determine the effects of such associated movements, RTs were compared in two conditions with 10 mentally retarded adults. (Author)

Short rapid movements of great precision increase programming time for motor reaction. (JD)

A theoretical interpretation of the stimulus familiarization effect was explored in three experiments with 6- through 7-year-old children. (Author/SB)

This paper describes the design and use of an apparatus capable of measuring reaction time and movement time, and recording time across various segments of the sprint event. (MB)

This study compared the auditory lexical decision times of children (N=46, mean age=7) with specific language impairment (SLI) to those of typically developing age peers. Although SLI children were significantly slower than peers, speed of word recognition was not correlated with measures of language comprehension for the SLI group. Possible…

Explored the relationship of both simple and four-choice reaction time to scores for the Alice Heim 4 (AH4) test to assess whether correlations previously reported adequately represented the strength of the relationship and to test for departures from linearity. Findings for 900 adolescents and adult show the correlation to be a good summary for…
