The question is about Hick's Law - Choice Reaction Time in motor learning.

The chart below shows how the number of stimulus-response (S-R) alternatives affects reaction time due to an increase in information processing. You will perform 10 trials of four different S-R alternative conditions: 1) simple RT (1-choice condition), 2-choice RT, 4-choice RT, and an 8-choice RT condition.

My Question: Based on my results, was the increase in RT consistent as the amount of information increased by 1 bit? Explain the answer.
