  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.

  3. Fastest animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fastest_animals

    The average speed of this race, including the brief reaction time immediately after the commencement of the race, was 10.44 m/s (37.6 km/h; 23.4 mph). [ 109 ] At distances greater than 400 metres , the human body requires oxygen to sustain such paces, and speed significantly tapers at this point.

  4. Assured clear distance ahead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assured_Clear_Distance_Ahead

    For example, a speed of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) corresponds to stopping distance of 4 seconds' travel at 60 mph. Drivers that require additional perception-reaction time, such as novices, elderly, or those in complex or adverse environments, can benefit by adding additional seconds.

  6. Hypersonic speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_speed

    This means that for nonequilibrium flow, something between 10 and 100 variables may be required to describe the state of the gas at any given time. Additionally, rarefied hypersonic flows (usually defined as those with a Knudsen number above 0.1) do not follow the Navier–Stokes equations. [citation needed]

  7. Hick's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hick's_law

    Exceptions to Hick's law have been identified in studies of verbal response to familiar stimuli, where there is no relationship or only a subtle increase in the reaction time associated with an increased number of elements, [5] and saccade responses, where it was shown that there is either no relationship, [6] or a decrease in the saccadic time ...

  8. Simon effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_effect

    Simon wished to see if an alteration of the spatial relationship, relative to the response keys, affected performance. Age was also a probable factor in reaction time. As predicted, the reaction time of the groups increased based on the relative position of the light stimulus (age was not a factor). The reaction time increased by as much as 30% ...

  9. Region-beta paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region-beta_paradox

    The region-beta paradox: a person prefers to walk (at 3 miles per hour) if distances are less than a mile, and to cycle (15 miles per hour) for longer distances. Despite the remoteness of points in region beta, they will be reached faster than most points in the nearby region alpha.
