Tolman believed that there is more to animals that beahviourists suggest and that animals have cognitive processes. Mental chronometry: methods of measuring the speed and organisation of mental processes. Comparing behaviour in two tasks that differ in only one mental process. Simple reaction time is the time it takes to press a button when they see a light. Choice reaction time is the time it takes to press a button when they see a red light. It can be used to infer the nature of processes. Stemburg paradigm: subjects memorise a short list of items (set-size) and are then but not a green light. Choice rt simple rt = estimate of stimulus evaluation time. asked later if a particular item called the (cid:494)probe(cid:495) (cid:523)usually a number(cid:524) is one of them. Parallel self-terminating flat positive response over the set-size but a varied and. Serial self-terminating the time taken for a positive response gradually increases as.
