OBS

This is the ability to select and initiate the appropriate response relative to a given stimulus in the situation where two or more stimuli are possible and where the appropriate response is selected from two or more alternatives. The ability is concerned with the speed with which the appropriate response can be initiated and does not extend to the speed with which the response is carried out. This ability is independent of mode of stimulus presentation (auditory or visual) and also of type of response required.
