Abstract
The relationship between information input and response time was studied during extended practice, using visual stimuli of up to ten bits of information per stimulus. Response time was found to be directly related to information input and the relationship was found to persist after practice, contrary to findings reported in several recent studies. On the final trial a secondary auditory task was introduced. Performance on this task was inversely related to the information content of the primary task, which showed a significant decrement when both tasks were performed concurrently. Five hypotheses derived from earlier work are examined in the light of the results obtained.
