Abstract
Forty-four college students were required to make either discrimination or preference judgments under a speed or accuracy orientation. Decision times for the Stochastically Dominant (SD) and Stochastically Non-Dominant (SND) were recorded. The results indicated that the mean SD decision times were significantly faster than the SND decision times under an accuracy orientation. No differences were found between the SD and the SND decision times under a speed set.
