Discussion 1 Reaction Time Test

The first reaction time test is the reaction ruler. This test shows the speed of the occipital lobe and the motor cortex of the brain. The faster the reflex the faster the afferent and efferent pathway is. Subjects 1, 3 and 5 experienced reaction times that were under the average of 195.167 milliseconds. While Subjects 2, 4 and 6 experienced times that were over the average of the population. In general terms it could be said that subjects 1,3 and 5 have better hand and eye coordination than subjects 2, 4, and 6 do. This means that the impulse traveled faster throughout the brain to the hand. Having a faster reflex can be learned through playing sports and other different types of activities. This type of reflex can be trained to go faster. Through
Therefore for Subjects 2, 4, and 6 the body is faster than average of taking impulses from the occipital lobe to the motor cortex of the brain which then produced the movement. This and different life experiences lead to the 3 subjects to be faster than the other 3 subjects. https://www.scienceworld.ca/resources/activities/reaction-time-ruler
The second reaction time test is the sorting of cards in two different ways. One trial involved sorting the cards by color and the other by sorting the cards by suit the fastest. This test combines many different parts of the brain together to test the full speed of the efferent and afferent pathways. This test not only involves the occipital lobe and motor cortex but also the frontal and temporal bone which are used more for interpreting. First for sorting the cards into two piles by colors, Subject 1, 2 and 3 had faster times than the average of 48.713 seconds. While subject 4,5 and 6 experienced slower times than the average. This is because again like the reaction ruler the subjects who had a faster time had faster pathways
