Document Summary
100 millisecond is the minimum time to proceed. Mental chronometry: how long it takes you to process certain information: people generally have a mental chronometry delay of 190 millisecond, reaction time tends to increase until 20 years and start to delay after. Simple reaction time: know exactly what to do: do(cid:374)"t have to ide(cid:374)tify the sti(cid:373)ulus (cid:374)or have to sele(cid:272)t the respo(cid:374)se, just have to detect and execute response. Overt action: how long it takes for you to do something. Lrp: measure activity in the brain: look for differences between the two sides of our motor cortex and which side has more activity. Information processing stages: detecting a stimulus (using 5 senses) But its more impacted when we have to make a choice between two choice; thus, rt is decreased (green light = go; red light = stop: select a response.
