Reaction Time Test

Visual reaction time measures how quickly you respond to a visual stimulus. It is one component of processing speed, which is related to cognitive performance and physical coordination.

  • Average adult reaction time: 200–250 ms
  • Athletes and gamers often average 150–190 ms with practice
  • Reaction time worsens with fatigue, age, and alcohol consumption
