Narrative:
On the takeoff roll; the first officer called 80 KTS; followed by airspeed hesitation. I looked at my airspeed which was still increasing; the first officer again called airspeed hesitation. At this point in time I had look at my airspeed indication which I remember being about 110-115 KTS; I then became fixated on the first officer airspeed indication; which appeared to be stopped or failed on 90 KTS. We had no other warning or comparator warnings or indications of a problem. We did have; however; a large split in airspeed indication. I elected to reject the takeoff; I am certain I elected to reject below V1. However; at this point; I was not receiving call outs from the first officer; who was unable to make calls; due to [the] failed airspeed indicator. The airplane was brought to a stop and we cleared the runway. I returned to the blocks to deal with our failed indicator. We had to wait for the brakes to cool.
