REACTION TIME AS A FUNCTION OF STIMULUS INTENSITY FOR THE MONKEY.

Monkeys were trained to release a telegraph key in response to a visual or auditory stimulus. The latency of the key release response was measured for different stimulus intensities. In general, the relation between latency and intensity is inverse and exponential with greater variability of latency at the lower intensities. Some preliminary data involving differential reinforcement of short latencies are presented.

Implanted electrodes: cable coupler for elimination of movement artifact.

The wires in the recording cable are connected to stainless-steel tubes supported by a ball bearing. The tips of the tubes rotate freely in mercury-filled grooves connected to the recorder through stainless-steel screws. No attenuation or distortion of the signal appears on records obtained through the coupler.
