  2. Mental chronometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_chronometry

    [15] [16] Similarly, increasing the duration of a stimulus available in a reaction time task was found to produce slightly faster reaction times to visual [15] and auditory stimuli, [17] though these effects tend to be small and are largely consequent of the sensitivity to sensory receptors. [8]

  3. Stimulus–response compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus–response...

    Stimulus–response (S–R) compatibility is the degree to which a person's perception of the world is compatible with the required action. S–R compatibility has been described as the "naturalness" of the association between a stimulus and its response, such as a left-oriented stimulus requiring a response from the left side of the body.

  4. Psychomotor vigilance task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychomotor_vigilance_task

    A psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) is a sustained-attention, reaction-timed task that measures the consistency with which subjects respond to a visual stimulus.Research indicates increased sleep debt or sleep deficit correlates with deteriorated alertness, slower problem solving, declined psychomotor skills, and increased rate of false responses.

  5. Continuous performance task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_performance_task

    In the IVA-2 CPT, clients are told that they will see or hear the numbers "1" or "2" and that they are to click the mouse when presented with a visual or auditory "1" and inhibit clicking when presented with a "2". The task is made more challenging by the shifting of modalities between the visual and auditory stimuli.

  6. Acoustic reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_reflex

    The acoustic reflex (also known as the stapedius reflex, [1] stapedial reflex, [2] auditory reflex, [3] middle-ear-muscle reflex (MEM reflex, MEMR), [4] attenuation reflex, [5] cochleostapedial reflex [6] or intra-aural reflex [6]) is an involuntary muscle contraction that occurs in the middle ear in response to loud sound stimuli or when the person starts to vocalize.

  7. Test of Variables of Attention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_of_Variables_of_Attention

    Response Time Variability: A time measurement of how consistently the microswitch is pressed. Response Time: A time measurement of how fast or slow information is processed and responded to. d' Signal Detection: A time measurement of how fast performance drops. Commission Errors: A measure of impulsivity: how many times the non-target is pressed.

  8. Visual reinforcement audiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_reinforcement_audio...

    Visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) is a key behavioural test for evaluating hearing in young children. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] First introduced by Liden and Kankkunen in 1969, VRA is a good indicator of how responsive a child is to sound and speech and whether the child is developing awareness to sound as expected.

  9. Posner cueing task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posner_cueing_task

    This results in decreased reaction times in Posner's spatial cueing task for validly cued targets, [3] and slower reaction times in response to invalidly cued targets: "Detection latencies are reduced when subjects receive a cue that indicates where in the visual field the signal will occur" (Posner, Snyder & Davidson, 1980).
