“…A rotary switch driven by a synchronous motor keyed a signal once every 15 seconds; a short flash of light preceded each stimulus by 1 second as a "ready" signal. These arrangements have been shown to minimize the risk of serial correlation between successive re- spouses (Day, 1956). A microswitch response key was attached to each arm of the subject's chair; he was instructed to press the righthand key if he judged a signal to be present, the left-hand key if he judged it to be absent.…”

Simultaneous presentation of functionally identical signals in two sensory modalities may theoretically yield a gain of information from increased input redundancy. The potential gain from probability summation depends, however, on the strategy adopted in integrating information, and may be further complicated by sensory interaction. Review of the literature on intersensory effects suggests that these in turn may be due to several distinct mechanisms. The difficulties of designing experiments to distinguish the various theoretical models are discussed, and the results of four experiments are presented.

A review of literature giving evidence of response preferences, mainly in human Ss, is undertaken. The preferences are taken from experimental work in early psychophysical data, subjective estimates of "chance" sequences, response mechanisms at the threshold, "gambling" situations, probability learning, and the influence of instructions on performance in probability learning. Explanations of response preferences are reviewed and the relationships between subjective uncertainty and preferences are explored with an attempt to give cohesion to a diverse body of experimental evidence.
