What is inspection time, as operationally defined by Nettelbeck in his experimental paradigm?

Correct answer: The length of time for presenting a target stimulus after which a participant still responds with at least 90 percent accuracy.

Explanation

This question asks for the specific operational definition of 'inspection time' used in information-processing theories of intelligence. The definition centers on the minimum stimulus exposure time required for a high level of accuracy, not the speed of the motor response.
