Cognitive processes take time processes can be inferred by differences in processing time across conditions. We study the outputs: accuracy of responses, types of errors, processing time. Subtraction method donders (1868) - interested in how long cognitive processes take. Assumptions - lower response time rt when the light is bright than when it is dim. And lower response time rt when the key is closer to the subject. Midterm exam review: cognitive complexity and the necessity of bias.
