  1. Factors influencing the latency of simple reaction time

    Simple reaction time (SRT), the minimal time needed to respond to a stimulus, is a basic measure of processing speed. SRTs were first measured by Francis Galton in the 19th century, who reported visual SRT latencies below 190 ms in young subjects. ...

  2. The effect of different visual stimuli on reaction times: a performance

    [Results] No significant inter-group differences in the reaction times were found for the simple reaction time task. In the choice reaction time and go/no-go reaction time tasks, the middle-aged participants demonstrated significantly slower reaction times. When the correct response was congruous with the direction of an arrow stimulus, the ...

  3. Reaction time and working memory in gamers and non-gamers

    A post-hoc analysis showed that the non-gamers reduced their RT from 1135.45 ± 605.75 ms when the questionnaire was completed before performing the tasks to 911.01 ± 161.57 ms when the ...

  5. Age-related increases in reaction time result from slower preparation

    METHODS. Fifty-four human participants aged between 21 and 80 completed the study (see Table 1).Previous research indicates typical correlations between age and reaction time in the range of r = 0.46 to r = 0.51 (3, 18).Power analysis based on the more conservative r = 0.46, with 80% power and a two-tailed α of 0.05 indicated that a sample of 35 participants would be sufficient to detect ...

  6. A comparative study of visual and auditory reaction times on the basis

    I NTRODUCTION. Reaction time (RT) is a measure of the quickness with which an organism responds to some sort of stimulus. RT is defined as the interval of time between the presentation of the stimulus and appearance of appropriate voluntary response in the subject.[] Luce[] and Welford[] described three types of RT.(1) Simple RT: Here there is one stimulus and one response.

  7. Reaction time in differential and developmental research: A ...

    Reaction time is believed to be a good indicator of the speed and efficiency of mental processes and is a ubiquitous variable in the behavioral sciences. Despite this popularity, there are numerous issues associated with using reaction time (RT), specifically in differential and developmental research.

  8. Age-related increases in reaction time result from slower preparation

    Recent work indicates that healthy younger adults can prepare accurate responses faster than their voluntary reaction times would suggest, leaving a seemingly unnecessary delay of 80-100 ms before responding. Here, we examined how the preparation of movements, initiation of movements, and the delay between them are affected by aging. Participants made planar reaching movements in two ...

  9. Research and Analysis on the Influence Factors of Visual Reaction Time

    Abstract. The research goal is to find out factors, which affected the visual reaction time in our daily life, and to find out that how to improve our reaction time by changing these factors in some way. The research method: we collected 100 students' visual reaction experiment's data, and we use the statistic software SPSS to analyze the ...

    This paper investigates the measurement of reaction times (RTs) with clocks of limited time resolution. The questions raised are: (a) What is the relationship between measured and true RT?

  11. Relationships Between Reaction Time, Selective Attention, Physical

    Introduction. Reaction time (RT) is a relevant variable in areas such as sports, academics, and other tasks of daily life (Metin et al., 2016; Sant'Ana et al., 2016).It can be defined as the time that elapses from when a stimulus appears until a response is given and is considered a good measure to assess the capacity of the cognitive system to process information (Jensen, 2006; Kuang, 2017).

  12. Full article: How Can You Best Measure Reaction Times?

    Introduction. Reaction times can be used to judge how long it takes to process various things about external signals (Donders, Citation 1868, Citation 1969).Detecting the presence of a stimulus, recognizing it, selecting a suitable response, and planning and executing the response, all take time (Smeets, Oostwoud Wijdenes, & Brenner, Citation 2016).It takes longer to initiate a motor response ...

    This was proven to be a significant increase between resting heart rate and post exercise heart rate (p-value= 2.951x100 -11). Similarly, the average systolic blood pressure of 122.33 mmHg was increased to an average of 141.6 mmHg with exercise (Figure 10). This significance can be observed in the p-value of 2.431x10 -6.

    The major literature conclusions that are applicable to undergraduate laboratories using my Reaction Time software are summarized and help you write a good report on your reaction time experiment. Reaction time has a been a favorite subject of experimental psychologists since the middle of the nineteenth century. However, most studies ask questions about the organization of the brain, so the ...

    Introduction. Reaction time (RT) is a relevant variable in areas such as sports, academics, and other tasks of daily life (Metin et al., 2016; Sant'Ana et al., 2016).It can be defined as the time that elapses from when a stimulus appears until a response is given and is considered a good measure to assess the capacity of the cognitive system to process information (Jensen, 2006; Kuang, 2017).

  17. Reaction times can reflect habits rather than computations

    Abstract. Reaction times (RTs) are assumed to reflect the underlying computations required for making decisions and preparing actions. Recent work, however, has shown that movements can be initiated earlier than typically expressed without affecting performance; hence, the RT may be modulated by factors other than computation time.

    time, the sequence of stimuli types is random. The Reaction Time program does not use this type of experiment because the response is always pressing the spacebar. Serial reaction time is a variant of choice reaction time in which the order of stimulus types is not random. Instead, a stimulus of type y is likely to follow a stimulus of type x.

  19. Hick's law for choice reaction time: A review

    Abstract. In 1952, W. E. Hick published an article in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, "On the rate of gain of information.". It played a seminal role in the cognitive revolution and established one of the few widely acknowledged laws in psychology, relating choice reaction time to the number of stimulus-response ...
