Speed-accuracy tradeoffs pose a problem whenever
A) error rates are not systematically related to the independent variable.
B) there is no effect of the independent variable.
C) error rates increase as reaction time increases.
D) error rates increase as reaction time decreases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Speed-accuracy tradeoffs pose a problem when error rates increase as reaction time decreases because it suggests that participants may be sacrificing accuracy to respond more quickly, making it difficult to discern whether changes in performance are due to the manipulation of the independent variable or to differences in the speed-accuracy strategy.
