Here we are looking to see if the texting you, a friend, and/or a family member do through the course of a day is actually advantageous other than a means to communicate. With this episode, we're looking to reaction time! REMEMBER: you can be a subject too!!!
- Use the link at the end of this sentence to use or view the document to find out how long your subject might text on a given day (click here for the time texting document).
- Go to the website, Neuroscience for Kids, and be sure you are in the Brain Games section (there will be a link to the tests below, but I want to be sure you can get there and see all the other cool stuff).
- Scroll down to the "Online Response Time Experiments".
- Have your subjects take the Hit-the-Dot test (Experiment 3) and the Check Box test (Experiment 5).
