The effects of spatial cues which indicate that a target will occur with a certain probability at a particular location on the accuracy in detecting or speed in responding to a subsequent target. This work has demonstrated that advance spatial cues enhance detection accuracy for and speed...

When subjects decide whether disoriented alphanumeric characters are normal or reflected, response time increases monotonically with orientational disparity from the upright. This phenomenon has been interpreted as indicative of a mental rotation process in which the disoriented character is...

This article presents the probability effects on stimulus evaluation and response processes. According to the author several research strategies have evolved to determine the locus or loci of probability effects. These strategies can be categorized into two broad classes of paradigms,...

People react more quickly and more accurately to stimuli presented in locations corresponding to the response, as compared with noncorresponding locations, even when stimulus location is irrelevant (Simon effect [SE]). The explanation that SEs are caused by the automatic priming of a...

The efficiency of cognition is modulated by energetic factors like effort, fatigue or circadian variation, which affect even the most basic cognitive operations. For instance, speeded detection in simple reaction-time (SRT) tasks usually slows down over time. The literature suggests that either...

Reaction time (RT) and error rate that depend on stimulus duration were measured in a luminance-discrimination reaction time task. Two patches of light with different luminance were presented to participants for �short� (150 ms) or �long� (1 s) period on each trial. When the stimulus...
