Do Reaction Time and Accuracy Measure the Same Aspects of Letter Recognition?

Santee, Jeffrey L.; Egeth, Howard E.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, v8 n4 p489-501 Aug 1982

Reaction time and accuracy do not always reflect the same perceptual processes; therefore, the convergence of reaction time with accuracy within the context of a specific information processing model should be demonstrated empirically rather than assumed a priori. (Author/PN)
