Reaction TimeReaction Time
Simple - involves one external signal & one response
Reaction TimeReaction Time
Choice - involves multiple signals & multiple responses
Reaction TimeReaction TimeDiscrimination - involves multiple
choices & single responses
Movement ResponseMovement Response
Reaction time and movement time used together to determine whether movement is being planned in advance or during execution
Practical Implication?
Performance ErrorsPerformance Errors
Absolute Error - measures the overall amount of error in performance
X1 + X2| + |X3| + …/ # trials
(without regard to sign)
Performance ErrorsPerformance Errors
Variable Error - represents the degree of consistency or variability associated with a performance
(X1) + (X2) + (X3) + …/ # trials
consider sign
Performance ErrorsPerformance Errors
Constant error - measures level of bias in performance - considers amount and direction of error
CE - (CE) /# trials# trials
