reaction time test

Speed response evaluation

A reaction time test measures how quickly someone responds to a stimulus—typically clicking a button when a color changes or an object appears on screen.

These tests assess alertness, cognitive processing speed, or neurological function.

They appear in research settings, video games, and online challenges: My reaction time test showed 215 milliseconds.
