A) True 
 B)False

Question 3

An experimenter compared the reaction times of participants to a red light and to a yellow light and found that reaction time was faster for the yellow light. However, it was also discovered that the yellow light was perceived by the participants as being brighter than the red light. In this experiment,

A)  the color of the light is confounded with reaction time. 
B)  the color of the light is confounded with the perceived intensity of the light. 
C)  the red light is confounded with the yellow light. 
D)  there are no confounds. 
A)  the color of the light is confounded with reaction time. 
B)  the color of the light is confounded with the perceived intensity of the light. 
C)  the red light is confounded with the yellow light. 
D)  there are no confounds.

Question 4

The brief delay between the presentation of two stimuli is known as the

Accepted Answer

A)  speed-accuracy tradeoff. 
B)  stimulus onset asynchrony. 
C)  confounding. 
D)  interaction. 
A)  speed-accuracy tradeoff. 
B)  stimulus onset asynchrony. 
C)  confounding. 
D)  interaction.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

A)  postulate sequential processing of one task at a time. 
B)  postulate a common resource needed for mental operations 
C)  assume that a mental module can be added or deleted without altering the processing duration of the other modules.
