Supporting evidence — 8 representative gaps

• Interactions of expectancy and utility in a choice reaction time paradigm (1976) · Organizational Behavior and Human Performance · doi

  Prior work has not fully examined the interaction between expectancy and utility in choice reaction time paradigms. The current study addresses this gap by examining how the utility associated with a stimulus affects reaction time. The study provides evidence for the need for a two-process expectancy theory, which addresses a limitation of prior work.

• Interactions of expectancy and utility in a choice reaction time paradigm (1976) · Organizational Behavior and Human Performance · doi

  The study used a limited number of subjects and trials. The utility associated with each stimulus was manipulated in a specific way, which may not generalize to other contexts. The study did not examine the effects of other factors that may influence reaction time, such as attention or motivation.

• Impulsivity and speed and errors in a reaction time task: A contribution to the construct validity of the concept of impulsivity (1983) · Acta Psychologica · cited 52× · doi

  There is a need to investigate the relationship between impulsivity and reaction time in a two-choice reaction time task. Prior work has not fully explored the stability of the relationship between impulsivity and reaction time over time.

• Autocorrelation of choice-reaction times (1979) · Acta Psychologica · cited 73× · doi

  Future research should investigate the autocorrelation of choice-reaction times in different tasks and populations. Future research should aim to develop a more comprehensive model of the CR decision process and its perturbation by interference from the activity of the sensory apparatus prior to the presentation of the reaction stimulus.

• The Deadline model for simple reaction times (1972) · Cognitive Psychology · cited 69× · doi

  The conventional interpretation of simple reaction time experiments assumes that subjects cannot readily depart from a preestablished plan. This assumption is challenged by the Deadline model. There is a need for more realistic approaches to dealing with anticipation responses.

• The Locus of Reaction Time Change With Set, Motivation and Age (1965) · Journal of Gerontology · cited 190× · doi

  The study identifies a gap in the understanding of the locus of change in reaction time due to set, motivation, and age. The study notes that prior work has not fully assessed the effect of different stimulus intensities on the comparative old-young RT.

• Interactions of expectancy and utility in a choice reaction time paradigm (1976) · Organizational Behavior and Human Performance · doi

  Future studies should examine the effects of other factors that may influence reaction time, such as attention or motivation. The study suggests that the interaction between expectancy and utility should be considered in the design of tasks that require rapid responses to stimuli. Future research should aim to develop a more comprehensive theory of expectancy and utility in choice reaction time paradigms.

• Age and Simple Reaction Time (1982) · Journal of Gerontology · cited 94× · doi

  Further research is needed to investigate the effects of age on reaction time in various contexts. The study highlights the need to consider the effects of age on reaction time in tasks that require rapid responses. Future research should examine the relationship between age and reaction time using different methods and stimuli.
