Factors affecting response time

• What is the equation for response Time?

  Response Time= Reaction Time + Movement Time
• What is the definition of Response Time?

  The time taken from the onset of a stimulus to the completion of the task
• What is the definition of movement time?

  The time taken from the start of the task to the completion of the task.
• What is the definition of simple reaction time?

  When there is one stimulus and one possible response.
• What is the definition of Choice reaction time?

  It is when there are several stimuli and several responses.
• What is hicks law?

  As the number of choices increase so does the reaction time. This can be used to a player's advantage.
• What is the single channel hypothesis?

  Only one stimuli can be processed at a time. Any further stimuli must wait time be processed.
• What is psychological refractory period?

  This explains the delay that occurs within the single channel hypothesis. It is the delay caused when a second stimulus arrives before the first one has been processed.
• What is anticipation?

  Predicting that a stimulus will be presented before it happens.
• What is stimulus intensity?

  If the stimuli is loud or bright, response time will be faster.
• How does physical fitness improve reaction time?

  Improved fitness will improve response time but fatigue will make it worse.
• List 4 way in which you can improve response time

  Improve selective attention

  Focus on relative cues

  Overlearning the skill

  Training to a specific stimulus expected in the game
