Factors Effecting Choice Reaction Time-2
u Stimulus-Response
Compatibility
l The more compatible
(the more similar) the
response and the
response key layout is to
the stimuli, the faster and
more accurate are the
responses. (Fitts &
Seeger, 1953).
l Sometimes compatibility
is determined by cultural
norms (population
stereotypes). e.g. what
side is the hot water
control and which way
do you turn it for on?
