Developmental Changes in Reaction Time

 

Visit the following website and follow the directions on screen to complete the Reaction Time Test.  Record your times for each trial, as well as your ending average time.

Next, ask two other people to complete the exercise and record their times.  This can include spouses, family members, friends, co-workers, or whomever you wish.  However, make every attempt to ensure that these people differ from you in age.  Preferably attempt to recruit people who are 10 years (or more) apart from you in age (either older or younger).  Doing so will help you to better answer the required questions.

Complete the worksheet in the attached document and submit your completed worksheet here in the Week 2 Assignment: Developmental Changes in Reaction Time area in the Assignments link in the classroom no later than 11:55 pm EST Sunday.  Include any references used on a separate reference page at the end of the worksheet. References should be formatted in APA format both in-text and on your reference page.
