Developmental Variability in Reaction Time
Eckert, Helen M.; Eichorn, Dorothy H.
Child Development, 48, 2, 452-458, Jun 77

Findings indicated a major maturational and a minor learning component in the improvement of mean performance in simple reaction time with increasing age and experience. (Author/JMB)
