Simple Reaction Time (SRT)

What is Simple Reaction Time (SRT)?

Simple Reaction Time (SRT) is the measure of the time it takes for an individual to respond to a single stimulus. It is a basic form of reaction time testing where a person is required to perform a specific action, such as pressing a button, as quickly as possible after perceiving a stimulus, such as a light or sound. SRT is often used in psychological and neurological studies to assess the speed of cognitive processing and motor response. It is considered a fundamental metric in understanding human performance and can be influenced by various factors including age, attention, fatigue, and practice.
