Factors Effecting Simple Reaction Time-2
Factors Effecting Simple Reaction Time-2
- Reaction Time Stimulus Effects
- More intense stimuli lead to faster reaction times.
- Increased duration of stimuli lead to faster reaction times.
- Auditory stimuli lead to slightly faster reaction times. Why?
- Foreperiod Effects
- For constant foreperiods, increases in duration increase reaction times.
- For variable foreperiods, increases in duration reduces reaction times.
- Why? Expectancy.
