Summary:

The questions of reaction to simultaneous and to successive stimuli have received but little attention. They are important as they furnish more or less definite solutions to the older problems concerning the nature of the sensory-motor event in the various responses to stimuli, and suggest new problems for investigation. They also throw a side-light on the questions of the relation between intensities of stimuli, types of attention, and reaction-time. This book examines the reaction to stimuli. It looks at the production of stimuli, the reaction to simultaneous stimuli and successive stimuli, and reenforcement and inhibition.
