The Effects of Type, Correctness, and Time of Precue Presentation on Choice Reaction Time: The Study of Inhibition of Return Theory

The purpose of this study was the determination of the effect of type, accuracy and time in offering the precue on selective reaction time of body based on Inhibition of return theory. In this study, according to the available sampling16 students of physical education at Alzahra University were selected. In this study the Eight-way system reaction time with the ability to provide precue was used and valid and invalid visual and hearing precue with pre-period 100,200,500 and 1000 ms between precue and stimulus were used randomly. Participants performed one category of 5trial to learn the task and 18Categories of 5trial tests in random order. Findings showed that the time of reaction in the valid precue was better than invalid and without precue. Reaction time between 100and 200 ms SOA: there were not significant differences in the valid and invalid vision precue and valid and invalid hearing precue but there was a significant difference among the other SOA levels. There was a significant difference between the reaction in the vision and hearing precue. The time of the reaction in the vision precue was better than hearing precue. The time of the reaction in the invalid vision was better than the invalid hearing and the time of the reaction of the valid vision was better than valid hearing. This study confirmed inhibition of return theory in valid hearing and visual precues but just the inhibition effect was seen in the reaction time in invalid precues in different SOAs.
