Effect of Warning Signal on Reaction Time of Elbow Flexion and Supination

open access: yes, 1982
EMG-reaction times (EMG-RTs) of the biceps brachii for the elbow flexion and the supination were measured on 46 gymnastic male students under conditions with and without a warning signal.

Influence of Warning Label Signal Words on Perceived Hazard Level

open access: yes, 1994
This experiment investigated the influence of warnings, signal words, and a signal icon on perceived hazard of consumer products. Under the guise of a marketing research study, 135 people (high school students, college students, and participants from a ...

The Effects of Irrelevant Dimensions on the Predictive Value of a Warning Signal [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Past research has neglected irrelevant dimensions of visual warning signals in choice reaction-time tasks. The present study examined the effects of an irrelevant dimension of a visual warning signal and that signal\u27s value in predicting a response ...

A comparison of different informative vibrotactile forward collision warnings: does the warning need to be linked to the collision event?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Recent research demonstrates that auditory and vibrotactile forward collision warnings presenting a motion signal (e.g., looming or apparent motion across the body surface) can facilitate speeded braking reaction times (BRTs).

Evaluation of a sudden brake warning system: Effect on the response time of the following driver [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This study used a video-based braking simulation dual task to carry out a preliminary evaluation of the effect of a sudden brake warning system (SBWS) in a leading passenger vehicle on the response time of the following driver.

Effects of Warning Signal Words on Consumer-Product Hazard Perceptions

open access: yes, 1992
This experiment investigated the influence of warning signal words and a signal icon on perceptions of hazard for consumer products. Under the pretext of a marketing research study, 90 high school and college students rated product labels on variables ...

Systematically false positives in early warning signal analysis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Many systems in various scientific fields like medicine, ecology, economics or climate science exhibit so-called critical transitions, through which a system abruptly changes from one state to a different state.

On the role of subsecond dopamine release in conditioned avoidance

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Using shock avoidance procedures to study conditioned behavioral responses has a rich history within the field of experimental psychology. Such experiments led to the formulation of the general concept of negative reinforcement and specific theories ...
