Abstract
Results of a study that assessed the effect of requiring students to wait for a short time interval before responding to computer-generated multiple choice test items support the notion that moderate delays enhance user performance on cognitive tasks. Three conditions of computer lockout were examined in a university psychology course. (12 references) (Author/LRW)
