Ten-fold finger reaction apparatus with stopper contacts

(Zehnfacher Reaktions-Apparat mit Stöpsel-Kontakten)
Description: This is a 10-key switch, which can allow each finger to make a response and close a set of contacts. With this device, a subject could be asked to respond with just one hand or just one finger, thus making it easy to study inhibition effects. (Expanded caption Copyright 1998, Edward J. Haupt)
