A Comprehensive List of Reaction Time Tests
The duration of time needed to identify, recognise, and formulate a proper response to a visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), or kinesthetic (touch) stimuli is measured using reaction time tests. But first, let's review the three categories of reaction time: basic reaction time, complex reaction time, and detection response time. Simple reaction time: one stimulus and one response. Selective reaction time: Multiple stimuli with distinct responses are presented. Detection response time: a number of stimuli, one response to a single stimulus only, and no response to other stimuli. The intensity of the stimulus, whether the stimulus needs to be recognised rather than just detected, and if there are multiple stimuli to choose from all have a significant impact on how quickly an answer is given. Reaction time test results can vary due to the complexity of stimuli. Analyzing complex stimuli takes longer than simple ones, influencing response times. Moreover, the nature of stimuli used i
