Abstract
24 Ss were used in a replication of Howarth's study of responsiveness on a 5-button pressing task. The original finding of a lack of influence of reactive inhibition in this task was confirmed. However, obtained sex differences were opposite to those reported earlier and no significant relationships between responsiveness and extraversion were revealed. Finally, this task may be useful in discriminating intensities of intrinsic motivation.Keywords
