Abstract
This study was done to investigate changes in reaction times to the first of two temporally spaced stimuli in a double stimulation paradigm. When a foot response was required to the first stimulus, increasing the complexity of the second stimulus-response pair significantly delayed the time to respond to the first stimulus. McLeod's 1977 model of parallel processing appears to offer the best explanation of the data although certain modifications to this model are suggested.
