In 1952, WE Hick published an article in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental
Psychology,“On the rate of gain of information.” It played a seminal role in the cognitive …

Motor imagery, an intricate cognitive procedure encompassing the mental simulation of
motor actions, has surfaced as a potent strategy within the neuro-rehabilitation domain. It …

We propose and evaluate a memory-based model of Hick's law, the approximately linear
increase in choice reaction time with the logarithm of set size (the number of stimulus …

Chapter 11 provides an overview of research on action selection, which is typically studied
in tasks that measure the speed and accuracy with which one of two or more actions is …

Decisions between multiple alternatives typically conform to Hick's Law: Mean response
time increases log-linearly with the number of choice alternatives. We recently demonstrated …

For decisions between many alternatives, the benchmark result is Hick's Law: that response
time increases log‐linearly with the number of choice alternatives. Even when Hick's Law is …

In contrast to conventional reaction time (RT) tasks, saccadic RT's to visual targets are very
fast and unaffected by the number of possible targets. This can be explained by the sub …

In order to execute movements to targets in the environment, we must first select a target in
which to move, generally from an array of alternatives. Hick's Law states that reaction time …

Abstract Hick/Hyman Law describes one of the core phenomena in the study of human
information processing: mean response time is a linear function of average uncertainty. In …

This chapter reviews some of the major findings, principles, and theories concerning
selection and control of action that are relevant to designing for human use. Choice reaction …
