Abstract

Significant variations in accuracy across nodal distance and trial type are found in the first test of equivalence when testing the speed of college students' accurate response to 18 conditional relations. While speed differences are significant even after extending the test, response speed is inversely related to the number of nodes. Variations in response speed are found across all trial types, except in transitivity and combined trials. No major variations are noticed when an instructed group, a queried group, and a standard group are tested to study the generality of these comparisons.
