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