Abstract
The problem of dealing with incorrect responses in choice reaction time tasks is discussed. In the present experiment, incorrect responses tended to yield functions that were very similar to the functions plotted from correct responses. However, they averaged about 50 msec. faster than the correct responses. These observations were taken to mean that errors are generated by essentially the same processes as are correct responses, but that these processes are not taken to completion in the former case.
