Reaction Time

Reaction time refers to the interval between perceiving a stimulus and initiating a response to it. For example, when you see a traffic light change from green to red, your reaction time is the duration it takes for your brain to recognize the change and your foot to move from the accelerator to the brake. Various factors, including age, fitness level, and attention, can influence reaction time. In practical situations, such as driving or sports, quicker reaction times can lead to better performance and improved safety.
