“…If the interval is too short, the second signal per se might influence the first response. This effect has been reported by Vince (1948) to occur occasionally and has been shown to be of real importance by Ellson and Hill (1948). The interval selected here was \ sec.…”

“…Regarding the motor system, most of the work that has been done on the responding mechanism is irrelevant in this context. Studies of the refractory phase (e.g., 142) are of interest only in the case of successive quickly elicited responses (39,123). Most of the relevant studies of this sort involve more complex types of reaction time measures.…”

“…Taylor (1948) has stated that he believes 5s develop sets for responding to the average size of error (average amplitude) and that this influences all of his responses in the direction of the average. A number of later investigations (Craig, 1949;Ellson & Hill, 1948;Ellson & Wheeler, 1949) have confirmed this, one of them (Ellson & Wheeler, 1949) showing that the effect is due to the range and not to the absolute amplitudes of the step inputs. These findings would seem to indicate that 5s, by overshooting small amplitude inputs and undershooting large amplitude inputs, would increase their error.…”

“…A number of previous studies (Battig, Gregg, Nagel, Small, & Brogden, 1954;Battig, Voss, & Brogden, 1955;Craig, 1949;Craik, 1948, Ellson, Harris, & Craig, 1949Ellson & Hill, 1948;Ellson & Wheeler, 1949;Hartman & Fitts, 1955;Searle & Taylor, 1948) have undertaken to relate stimulus amplitude and response amplitude in tracking tasks. In particular, the Battig studies investigated the effect of an increase in frequence of target intermittency on tracking error and found in the later study (Battig, Voss, & Brogden, 1955) a linear relation between this increase and proficiency of tracking.…”
