In experiment III, this dependency <strong>of</strong> RT on the FP at the<br />

preceding trial were investigated.<br />

Apparatus<br />

The subject was seated in front <strong>of</strong> a desk, on which a box,<br />

Scm x 14cm x 24cm, was laid. On the upper surface, 14cm x 24cm,<br />

<strong>of</strong> the box, <strong>two</strong> microswitches and one 7-segment LED(green)<br />

were laid(Figure 4). These microswitches were arranged<br />

horizontally, separated 12cm apart, 4cm above the nearest edge<br />

<strong>of</strong> the box to the subject. The LED was mounted between and<br />

6cm above the microswitches. When the LED, which was the<br />

imperative stimulus to respond to, lit up, it always displayed<br />

number O. An AIDACS-3000 microcomputer system(Ai Electrics Corp.)<br />

controlled these apparatus and recorded l responses <strong>of</strong> the subject.<br />

Subjects<br />

Three students from the undergraduate course <strong>of</strong> the faculty<br />

<strong>of</strong> letters <strong>of</strong> Kyoto University participated. They were all<br />

untrained with respect to this type <strong>of</strong> experiment.<br />
