The effect of distraction on reaction time, with special reference to practice and the transfer of training #232224

Other subordinate problems will be treated in their proper sequence. A statement of these minor problems is made on page 26. Reaction experiments were used as the basis of this investiga tion, as the processes involved in the reaction experience are fundamental to behavior in its complexer forms.
