    Reaction time in binary classification tasks typically rises with more targets. However, familiar target sets without explicit "no" responses showed no significant reaction time increase with up to three targets.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Human Factors

    Background:

    • Binary character-classification tasks commonly show increased reaction time with more target elements.
    • Previous research indicates a substantial rise in response times as the number of targets grows.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of target set size on reaction time in binary character-classification tasks.
    • To examine if reaction time is independent of target set size under specific conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants performed binary character-classification tasks.
    • The size of the familiar target set was manipulated (one to three elements).
    • Explicit "no" responses were not required.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Reaction time did not significantly increase as the target set size grew from one to three.
  • This finding contrasts with typical observations in similar tasks.

    • Conclusions:

    • Familiarity of the target set and the absence of explicit "no" responses can mitigate the expected increase in reaction time.
    • Cognitive load or decision-making processes may be less affected by target set size under these specific experimental conditions.
