“…Another interesting finding is that, in sharp contrast to prior research (Englund & R., 2009;Giray & Ulrich, 1993;Schröter, 2007;Stahl & Rammsayer, 2005), there appeared to be a relationship between the overt peak force and RTs. This can, at least partially, be explained by the more sensitive approach that was used compared to the reported correlations.…”

The present study employed an explicit reaction time task but measured several underlying cognitive processes in an attempt to provide implicit estimates of consumers’ willingness-to-pay (WTP). Participants were asked to evaluate product-price combinations as cheap or expensive. The prices of the products ranged from very cheap to very expensive. Crucially, participants had to complete the task under time pressure while the dependent variables of interest could not be influenced deliberately. This is because we explored whether the magnitude of the price stimulus interfered with the reaction times (RTs), response force (RF) and partial responses (PRs). The results of our study demonstrated that both RTs and RF are influenced by the magnitude of the price and it is postulated that these dependent measures indeed have the potential to investigate consumers’ WTP. Future studies need to further investigate the possibilities of these implicit variables and validate eventual estimates.

“…RTs were collected by way of two keys connected to the microcomputer via an ActiveWire USB device (ActiveWire Inc., Palo Alto, California). Timing tests of the experimental setup, conducted using the Black Box Toolkit (Plant & Hammond, 2002), verified the consistency of the timings requested by the experiment script (see Englund & Patching, 2009, for details).…”

Despite the importance of both response probability and response time for testing models of choice, there is a dearth of chronometric studies examining systematic asymmetries that occur over time- and space-orders in the method of paired comparisons. In this study, systematic asymmetries in discriminating the magnitude of paired visual stimuli are examined by way of log odds ratios of binary responses as well as by signed response speed. Hierarchical Bayesian modeling is used to map response probabilities and response speed onto constituent psychological process, and processing capacity is also assessed using response time distribution hazard functions. The findings include characteristic order effects that change systematically in magnitude and direction with changes in the magnitude and separation of the stimuli. After Hellström (1979, 2000), sensation weighting (SW) model analyses show that such order effects are reflected in the weighted accumulation of noisy information about the difference between stimulus values over time, and interindividual differences in weightings asymmetries are related to the relative processing capacity of participants. An account of SW based on the use of reference level information and maximization of signal-to-noise ratios is posited, which finds support from theoretically driven analyses of behavioral data.

“…Critical information regarding cognitive and emotional processes, as well as RT, may be learned from a response's intensity. The experiment measuring response force in a simple reaction task to visual stimuli of increasing brightness and size is used to assess the potential of the RT [3]. However, as we age, our RT gradually lowers.…”

As the global population ages, understanding the impact of aging on cognitive abilities becomes increasingly crucial. One such cognitive function that exhibits significant changes with advancing age is reaction time (RT). This article presents a comprehensive analysis of RT in older adults, examining its underlying mechanisms, age-related changes, and implications for cognitive functioning. Through a review of existing literature, this study explores various factors influencing RT in older individuals, including sensory, motor, and cognitive processes. It highlights how age-related changes in the central nervous system, such as declines in processing speed and neural efficiency, play a significant role in prolonging RTs. Additionally, the role of cumulative life experiences and environmental factors in shaping reaction time in older adults is discussed.
