Abstract
When the human subject is asked to respond to two stimuli separated by a very short time interval the response to the second stimulus may be relatively delayed. The present experiment is designed to test the hypothesis that the elements of the delay attributable to the sensory and motor components of the stimulus-response situation may be subserved by relatively independent neural mechanisms. The results obtained are compatible with this hypothesis and are briefly discussed.Keywords
