Abstract :
This paper argues that the speed-accuracy trade-off arises as a consequence of Shannon´s fundamental theorem for a channel with noise, when coupled with two additional postulates: that people are imperfect information processors, and that motivation is a necessary condition of the speed-accuracy tradeoff.
