This paper describes a cross‐level experiment at the levels of the individual person and group. Using a microcomputer to interact with subjects, this experiment tested James Grier Miller's hypothesis that decision time will vary as a function of the degree of difference in a command array. The results tended to support the hypothesis at both the organism and group level.
