Choice reaction time

Choice reaction time is the period it takes for a person to respond to a stimulus when there are multiple possible signals, and they must choose the correct action. For example, if you see different lights and need to press specific buttons for each, your choice reaction time measures how quickly you identify the correct light and respond accordingly. It reflects how efficiently the brain processes information, makes decisions, and initiates movement. This measure is useful in understanding cognitive processing and how well the nervous system functions in real-time decision-making situations.
