Response latencies in a social conformity paradigm: effects of a referent's competence
… (the proportion of conforming predictions), two latencies were measured: the interval between the reference prediction and the subject's verbal prediction (decision time), and the interval between the stimulus presentation and the subject's identification response (choice reaction time). …

An examination of mindfulness and cognitive interference in American veterans of the Global War on Terrorism
… with combat-related PTSD would have longer response latencies on the task relative to participants with lower scores on a combat-related PTSD measure. This study also hypothesized that veterans in general would exhibit longer response latencies that non-veterans. This study was also …

Intelligenz, Persönlichkeit und die mediierende Wirkung von Itembearbeitungszeiten
… more and more interested in the meaning of response latencies in various test settings as a process oriented measure of personality. The investigation of timing behavior has a long tradition and people’s intellectual ability is one widely examined predictor of these response time …

The Additive Effects of Varying Stimuli on Cooperative and Conformity Responding
… as they are measured with respect to faster response latencies and more accurate responses, or brief and immediate relational responding. This paper will address the predictive utility of a modified IRAP and the additive effects of verbal stimuli to increase cooperation and conformity in a …

The Development of a Computer Adaptive Test Of the Five Factor Model of Personality: Applications and Extensions
… New approaches to the detection of intentional response distortion were explored with mixed results including some promising findings in need of cross-validation. Response latencies were able to discriminate between honest and faking subjects, but the findings were unable to clarify the issue of …

Modality related effects of face and voice information and the perception of human attractiveness
… of fertility. Male voices decreased female response latencies when presented congruently with male faces, which suggests that they are integrated. However, male face-voice integration did not enhance the detection or discrimination of attractive male faces. Rather, females’ readiness to rate …

Language Extension in Social Cognition: Personality Impression Judgment as a Cognitive Matching Operation
… Evidence is presented demonstrating that response latencies for descriptor ratings of targets presented in a realistic videotape vary as a function of independent judgments of the applicability of items. It is further demonstrated that manipulations of encoding strategy, which are designed …

The application of decision times and reaction times in the construction of latency weighted test scores
The use of response latencies to determine item weights in the construction of multiple-choice test scores was investigated. Three times were measured on each test item by the computer system which administered two tests. The times recorded were: the reading time which the student used to read the …

Executive control in the anterior cingulate cortex
… i.e. situations that occur when learning new response contingencies, when previously learned response strategies fail, or when a shift in attention or responding is required. These situations all involve goal-oriented monitoring of performance in order to effectively adjust cognitive …

The Nature of Word Finding Abilities Following Traumatic Brain Injury
… of the population studied demonstrated increased response latencies when compared to normative data. Common noun error types included coordinate, no response, self-corrections, and circumlocutions. The most frequent verb error types were found to be coordinate verbs, no response, and superordinate …

Combined effects of prozac and hypothalmic mediated response on masseter muscle activity in the cat
… kind of behavior, known as the "defensive rage response" such as unsheathing of the claws, retraction of the ear and vocalization (hissing). Three adult cats (2 males and 1 female) weighing (2.8 - 3.4 kg) were utilized during the experiments. Cannula-electrodes were implanted into the medial …

The effects of speech rate, message repetition, and information placement on synthesized speech intelligibility
… message, and how confident they were of their response. The accuracy of their response, system response time, and response latency were recorded. Transcription accuracy was best for messages spoken at 150 or 180 wpm and for messages repeated either twice or three times. Words at the end of …

Temporal dynamics of choice behaviour: an examination of pre- and post-choice latencies in rats and humans
… allocation by assessing pre- and post-choice latencies when animals and human choose between two probabilistically rewarded options. The experiments presented here used a discrete-trial procedure which allowed the choice process to be decomposed into three distinct behavioural stages. We …

Boston Naming Test with Latencies (BNT-L)
… latency times, the Boston Naming Test of Latencies (BNT-L), in order to improve the instrument's sensitivity to mild to moderate word-finding impairment. Experiment 1: Latency times on the 60-item BNT (Goodglass et al., 2001) for 235 healthy adults' ages 18-89 years were collected on a …

Imaging räumlicher und zeitlicher Dynamik der Geruchstoffrepräsentation im Bulbus Olfactorius der Säugetiere mit einem neuen spannungsabhängigen Farbstoff
… vertebrates and insects. Complex temporal response patterns have been described on a single cell level or with low spatial resolution using electroencephalography (EEG), however activity in several separate glomeruli could not be recorded simultaneously. The effects of odor identity and …

Response Latency During Acquisition: A Comparison of Stimulus Presentation Algorithms in a Match-to-Sample Task
Four studies were developed to investigate response latency in a computerized fluency task with college students. The first study was exploratory, and it tracked the patterns of response latency throughout the frequency-building process. Results indicated that response latencies became more …

EFFECTS OF DIAZEPAM, D-AMPHETAMINE, AND MORPHINE ON RATS’ CHOICES BETWEEN FOOD ALONE AND FOOD WITH DELAYED SHOCK
… conflicting-valence consequences. Rats pressed response levers to choose between a single-valence consequence (1 food pellet) and a conflicting-valence consequence (3 food pellets followed by a delayed shock). In each condition, the delay to shock varied systematically in a fixed sequence across …

A multicomponential examination of tennis players’ emotional responses to music
… of competitive tennis players’ emotional responses to pre-performance music. To this end, four objectives were defined: First, to develop a grounded theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1967) of players’ use of music to manipulate emotional state; second, to examine the impact of altering music tempo …

Unique and shared roles of the prefrontal and posterior parietal cortex in cognitive functions
… parietal areas although the initial visual response latencies were earlier in the posterior parietal cortex than in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Contrary to established theories, the results suggest that the prefrontal cortex computes salient stimuli in parallel with the posterior …

Analysis of the Physical and Physiological Events Resulting from Caloric Irrigation of the Human Temporal Bone
… that, on average, a significant sequential response decline was present for the four caloric responses. The effect of this decline was to produce an 'apparent 1 canal paresis of 4% of the second ear to be irrigated. There was no significant effect upon the calculation of directional …
