Stimulus selection as a function of stimulus duration and letter color in paired-associate learning

Stimulus Pronunciability in Aural Paired-Associate

An experiment was conducted in an attempt to assess the merits of a stimulus availability interpretation of stimulus pronunciability (PR) effects in aural paired-associate learning. Stimulus PR was varied within lists of 8 trigram-adjectlve pairs. The study-test technique was used. The intra-SR interval of study trials was either 2, 4, or 6 sec, thus allowing periods of different length in whic...

Two-flash thresholds as a function of comparison stimulus duration.

Effects of stimulus duration and inter-letter spacing on letter-in-string identification.

Effects of stimulus duration and inter-letter spacing were studied in a letter-in-string identification paradigm. Participants were shown strings of 5 random consonants (e.g., PGKDM) centered on fixation and were asked to identify the letter that had appeared at a post-cued location. Stimulus duration was manipulated in Experiment 1 (13 ms-91 ms), and inter-letter spacing manipulated in Experim...

Choice and stimulus-response compatibility affect duration of response selection.

In general, for movements to visual targets, response times increase with the number of possible response choices. However, this rule only seems to hold when an incompatibility exists between the stimulus and response, and is absent when stimulus and response are highly compatible (e.g., when reaching toward the location of the stimulus). Stimulus-response (S-R) compatibility can be manipulated...
