在两个经典的人类信息加工范式：词汇决定和记忆扫描中，研究了反应执行的细节。在词汇判断实验中，词频既影响反应开始的时间，也影响反应的运动学性质。在记忆扫描实验中，当探针出现在记忆集中时，当记忆集由两个项目组成时，比由六个项目组成时，反应更快，更有力。当探针不在记忆集中时，反应开始得更快，但当记忆集由两个项目组成时，反应不如由六个项目组成时那么有力。结果表明，支持给定响应的激活量可以调节启动响应所需的时间和执行响应的力。这些发现与心理测时传统中开发的所有人类认知表现模型有关。
Details of response execution were examined in two classic human information processing paradigms: lexical decision and memory scanning. In the lexical decision experiment, word frequency influenced both the time of response onset and kinematic properties of the response. In the memory scanning experiment, when the probe was present in the memory set, the responses were both initiated sooner and were more forceful when the memory set consisted of two items than when it consisted of six items. When the probe was absent from the memory set, responses were initiated sooner but were less forceful when the memory set consisted of two items than when it consisted of six items. The results suggest that the amount of activation in support of a given response can modulate both the time taken to initiate the response and the force with which the response is executed. These findings bear on all models of human cognitive performance that have been developed within the mental chronometry tradition.
