Abstract
The RTs of 3 Ss to clicks at 10, 30 and 90 db above their individually measured thresholds were obtained. It was concluded that use of a microswitch for signalling motor response introduces a significant delay in comparison with an electromyographic measure. Large reliable individual differences in amount of switch lag were found. Switch lag decreased slightly as intensity was increased.Keywords
