I did some reaction time experiments like this on my Commodore 64 in my mid-late 20's (I am 59 now). For a test like this, I got about the same result (0.25 sec). I also did experiments to see what stimuli produced the fastest times. I got similar results using a sound instead of an image change. For the fastest times (about 0.2 sec) I combined them by changing the whole screen from black to white and playing a loud noise at the same time. I also confirmed experimentally that alcohol slows reaction times. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
