A8.01
The Structure of Reaction Time
Cards in this group · 7
- A8.01.1Reaction time breaks into sensory conduction, central processing, motor conduction, and muscle activation
- A8.01.2Reaction time and movement time are two independent stages that must be measured separately
- A8.01.3"Simple reaction time: one stimulus, one response"
- A8.01.4"Choice reaction time: RT grows with the number of alternatives"
- A8.01.5"Discrimination reaction time: the stimulus category must be judged before deciding whether to respond"
- A8.01.6There is a floor on reaction time; anything faster is anticipation, not a genuine reaction
- A8.01.7Individual differences in reaction time exceed what most interface optimizations can gain
