Document Summary
What occurs between the intention to act and the initiation of movement to perform the action itself: define reaction time (rt). Because they may have difficulty remembering more complex tasks, when there are other things that were not planned out going on around them: true/false: as the number of response alternatives decreases. The amount of time required to prepare the appropriate movement decreases. Hyman law, states that rt will increase logarithmically as the number of stimulus response choices increases. The important component of hick"s law is the log2 function: true/false: rt increases linearly as the number of choices increases. 32: you are playing cricket and you are batting. You are facing a bowler (thrower) who spins the ball 95% of the time rather than throwing it with no spin. The benefit of the advance information was that participants would need to prepare only the remaining non-precued dimensions after the go signal.
