Larger statistical changes in sound yield faster and sharper reaction times

Evidence

Median reaction time correlated negatively with change sizes (p < 0.001; Fig. 2c ), in a manner that corresponded to the inverse of the increase in hit rate with larger change sizes. In addition, the onset time of the distributions decreased with change size, together suggesting that certainty was reached earlier for bigger step-sizes. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3324 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
