More Reaction Time Experiments ... Here is a table to convert the distance on the ruler to reaction time. For example, if you caught the ruler at the 8 inch mark, then your reaction time is equal to 0.20 seconds (200 ms). Remember that there are 1,000 milliseconds (ms) in 1 second.

The average reaction time of a human is approximately between 0.2 s to 0.25 s. However, your reaction time is also affected by factors such as age, gender, intelligence, fatigue, and distraction...

Kinds of Reaction Time Experiments ... In choice reaction time experiments, the user must give a response that corresponds to the stimulus, such as pressing a key corresponding to a letter if the letter appears on the screen. The Reaction Time program does not use this type of experiment because the response is always...

The faster the reaction time of an astronaut and the crew, the better chance they will have in dealing with a given situation. ... Why would it be important to be quick and steady for space experiments?

It is common belief that the intake of caffeine lowers reaction time. To confirm this hypothesis, a double-blind study was performed of subjects' reaction time before and after ingestion of regular or decaffeinated coffee. ... As follow-up experiments, it could be interesting to compare the effects of coffee versus...

Interest in the measurement of human reaction time (the time elapsing between the onset of a stimulus and the onset of a response to that stimulus) apparently began as a result of the work of a Dutch physiologist named F. C. Donders. ... In his early experiments, Donders applied electric shocks to the right and left feet...

TNO Human Factors, ... Reaction times are recorded to chromatic, mesopic stimuli to investigate mesopic reaction time spectral sensitivity. Measurements are made using three laboratory setups and a driving simulator. The chromatic stimuli have spectral distributions that range from quasi-monochromatic to broadband.

The movement time experiments are performed on the computer setup with pushbutton boxes, as shown in the diagram. Use different subjects for these experiments than those used for the reaction time experiments. ... D.A. Rosenbaum, Human Motor Control, Chapter 8, Academic Press, New York, 1991.

In reaction time experiments, this motor-preparation activity occurs during the foreperiod, or even before, as in the case of the 0-ms interval and contributes to shortening of motor latencies. ... Our data also indicate that the search for contextual effects on reaction time experiments must be focused on short intervals,
