Reaction Time of Unlearned Responses
Results:
Person A:
Trial 1 _______ cm; Trial 2 _______ cm; Trial 3 _______ cm = ________ (average)
Person B:
Trial 1 _______ cm; Trial 2 _______ cm; Trial 3 _______ cm = ________ (average)
- Based on acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/sec2), calculate the speed of the subject’s reflexes by time (sec) = sq. root of (2 x distance (m)/9.8m/s2).
Ex. If the average measurement is 25cm, then divide 0.25 by 9.8, multiply by 2, and get the square root.
Convert the average distance to time:
Student A - _____sec. Student B - _____sec.
Compare the results among housemates.
Housemate range (maximum, minimum) ________ - ________ sec.
There are at least 10 synapses involved in this response. Based on your results, what is the minimum amount of time that a neuron requires to receive and send a signal? ____________ seconds.
