The greatest reduction, 53%, was obtaqined with a warning interval of 1 second. Warning also reduces variance of the response over trials, a decrease of over 90% for the optimum 1-second interval. date: 1962 date_type: published publication: Science volume: 137 number: 3531 pagerange: 665-666 refereed: TRUE citation: Lykke, David T.
