Reaction Time Investigation

[Lyx]

0,23 average on first set.

I do not often play reflex-heavy games, but am able to put myself in a state of high concentration. On the last big dot, i tend to react much faster and its as if time is slowing down for me - i almost always react in 0,15 to 0,19 on the last big dot.

What i disliked was reliance on pressing a mouse button. I have a feeling that i could react faster, if i could press a keyboard button.

Why is the last one always slowest for me? Weird.

Man, I'm slow today.

EDIT: Dozy too. Added correct time.

I've done this study previously, just so's you know in advance. I found little to no difference.

Mine is 0.228

So far I have about a .02 - .03 difference in time. Fastest gamer is 0.191, slowest is .246. Fastest non-gamer is .209 (complete fluke), slowest is .318.

Weird... I think might be less that games make your reaction speeds better (as almost all studies in this try to prove that) but more that people with these reaction times just play more games.

Isn't that pretty much the same thing?

Not in the least. One is saying that Video games augment your reaction time, make it better. The other says that people who already have fast reactions times just so happen to play video games
