Attention and Reaction Time Experimental Psychology
The book explicitly says;
"There is an inverse relationship between the speed and accuracy of performance. When you try to do something very fast, you make more mistakes than if you do it slowly. Conversely, if you try to do something, such as type a term paper, very accurately, you must go more slowly to achieve the desired accuracy. Psychologists call this relationship the speed-accuracy trade-off. It has important implications for studies that measure RT as the dependent variable"
