Is it plausible to assume that the longer reaction time for auditory cues is due to a longer processing pathway in comparison to visual cues (e.g. Warning)? yes due to now fest Har Me uisual Pathuay comauni cotes Cumpared to He aurartory Pathuoy 21. What was the control condition for the reaction time data collected above?

Answer 1

16) Distraction increases the reaction time

17) The ability to predict the timing of stimulus (regular) decreases the reaction time

18) The greatest amount of variability in reaction time is seen with distraction

19) If the distractions become less, the reaction time will decrease and the subject will react faster

20) Visual pathway communicates faster than auditory pathways. So, the reaction time for auditory cues are longer

21) The control condition was random data
