Document Summary
150 s d n o c e s i l l i m i e m. 2a) the incompatible stimuli had a greater response time in the simon task. 2b) the incompatible stimuli had a greater response time in the stroop task. 2c) the stroop task had a greater difference. This may be the case because this task is harder to complete than the simon task: the stroop task had the highest overall reaction time. This is due to hick"s law because it states that as the amount of choices increases, the reaction time also increases. In the stroop task, there were 4 choices (red, yellow, blue, and green) as opposed to only 2 choices in the. Since the stroop task had more choices, then it had a higher reaction time due to hick"s law: i think this person"s reaction time would be faster when the tone is played in their right ear.
