Response times are a fascinating source of information on how the
mind is organized - the time taken to carry out an action tells us
something about the choice process involved. This is a critical but
even-handed treatment of the major themes of how response times
play a role in our thinking about the mind. Professor Luce provides
a comprehensive, clear review of the experimental data, and puts
forward the idea of the hazard function - a novel and important
approach that he and his colleagues have developed. This function,
based on the probability that an reaction is about to occur given
that no reaction has occurred so far during a trial, exaggerates
the differences that normal analysis methods often obscure. This
enables the researcher to rule out more confidently known
mechanisms of time delay in human performance. Since measurements
of response times are widely used by experimental psychologists as
one approach to distinguishing between theories of intellectual
functioning, the conceptual arguments that Professor Luce brings to
bear on mathematical models of response time are of great relevance
to mathematical and experimental psychologists.
