Understanding Reaction Time

What is Reaction Time?

Reaction time is the interval between a stimulus and the response to it. In our test, it's the time between seeing the green signal and clicking the mouse or screen.

Factors affecting reaction time include age, fatigue, alcohol consumption, and neurological conditions. Regular testing can help monitor cognitive performance and reflexes.
