Motor programming is not the only process which can influence RT: some thoughts on the Marteniuk and MacKenzie analysis.
The current status of research on the memory drum theory is evaluated with emphasis on the issues raised by Marteniuk and MacKenzie (1981). A general theme emerging from this review is that response programming is not the only process which can influence RT and that distinguishing programming from non-programming effects clarifies rather than "clouds" the issues.
