Question 1

(Multiple Choice)

Free
In the statistical calculations for this experiment, the standard deviation in the fixed-interval reaction time experiment is usually lower than that of the random-interval reaction time experiment. What does this mean?

A)It means that average random-interval reaction times are typically shorter than average fixed-interval reaction times.
B)It means that there is less variability in the data for the fixed interval reaction time trials than in random-interval trials.
C)It means that average random-interval reaction times are typically longer than average fixed-interval reaction times.
D)It means that there is more variability in the data for the fixed interval reaction time trials than in random-interval trials.
E)It does not indicate any particular trend for fixed-interval vs. random-interval reaction time trials.

Answer

Question 2

(Multiple Choice)

Free
For the class as a whole, which condition would you expect to display the shortest average reaction time?

A)Random interval, dominant hand
B)Fixed interval, dominant hand
C)Random interval, non-dominant hand
D)Fixed interval, non-dominant hand
E)All 4 of the conditions tested showed the same reaction times.

Answer

Question 3

(True False)

Free
The reaction time for involuntary reflex responses is typically shorter than the reaction time in voluntary reactions.
