Sequential effects in disjunctive reaction time

The study of the speed of human reactions is older than experimental psychology. Starting in the early 1800's as the study of the "personal equation" in astronomy, it became known as "mental chronometry" in psychological laboratories of the late 19th Century (Boring, 1950)....
