Funded Activity Summary

Developing a general theory of reaction time (RT) control. Speeded responses are used widely as a tool to study cognitive processes. Context has a large effect on speeded responses, undermining the assumption that reaction time (RT) provides a direct measure of the complexity or efficiency of underlying cognitive processes. Understanding the role of context in initiating speeded responses will bring both basic and applied benefits: It will help refine theories of cognitive processes, many of which are based on data collected with RT tasks, and it will be useful in designing tests that measure an individual's cognitive capacity.
