Simple Reaction Time Calculator
Mean actual correct eligible simple RT observations, no inferred prediction from age/IQor stimulus count. Actual independently matched observations/units and protocol, not diagnosis, causal mechanism, clinical decision or validated individual prediction.
Description
A simple reaction-time mean depends on which correct trials were independently considered eligible.
A simple reaction-time mean depends on which correct trials were independently considered eligible.1
This tool averages those supplied nonnegative observations in milliseconds without selecting or filtering trials.
When to use Simple Reaction Time Calculator
This tool averages those supplied nonnegative observations in milliseconds without selecting or filtering trials.
How to use Simple Reaction Time Calculator and how it works
- Prepare correct eligible simple rt milliseconds, using the input definitions and matching units below.
- Enter the required fields and run Simple Reaction Time Calculator.
- Read result.value using the units, signs and ordering explained below.
- Correct any rejected inputs and rerun; interpret the result within the stated model and its assumptions.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| actualCorrectEligibleSimpleRtMilliseconds | Actual Correct Eligible Simple Rt Milliseconds. Use the units and matching context stated in the calculation below. | array of number | Required; other constraints below |
Require a nonempty list of nonnegative eligible correct-trial simple reaction times in milliseconds. Return their arithmetic mean in ms. No outlier removal, incorrect-trial selection or age prediction is performed.
meanRtMs=sum(eligibleRtMs)/N Apply the input ordering, units and branch conditions stated above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the calculated or selected fields below. | object |
| result.value | Milliseconds under the stated reaction-time mean or signed-difference convention. | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
The calculation uses the supplied observations and model inputs. It does not collect measurements, select a reference population or coefficient, or establish that the model applies to the actual case. The stated branch conditions and output units remain part of the result.
All fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, wrong types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays are rejected. Alignment, bounds and supported-token rules are explained above; extremely large inputs or nonfinite results can also fail. Input errors differ from successful false comparisons, unavailable-domain flags and empty match lists.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Task Switching Cost Calculator for a complementary operation: Task-switching cost describes the difference between qualified switch-trial and repeat-trial response times.
Use Simon Effect Magnitude Calculator for a complementary operation: The Simon effect can be summarized as incongruent minus congruent reaction time under matched task conditions.
