Abstract
Scheduling theory is used to extend the additive factors method of analyzing reaction times to tasks involving concurrent processing. Data indicate that mental processes in a double-stimulation experiment by Becker are executed in a critical-path network. A relationship predicted for the timing of the responses of the task is shown to hold.Keywords
