The additive factors technique makes the inference that when two manipulations of RT task difficulty (A and B) influence the same stage of processing, the more difficult level of A will:
A) decrease the effect of B
B) leave the effect of B unchanged
C) increase the effect of B
D) cause B to have no effect

The additive factors technique assumes that when two manipulations of RT task difficulty (A and B) influence the same stage of processing, the more difficult level of A will increase the effect of B. This is because the more difficult level of A will require more processing time at the stage in question, which will in turn increase the effect of B on RT.
