Reaction Time science fair project

Post by imraa7258 »

Hello everyone, I have a science fair project due soon and was wondering if anyone is able to answer a few questions on reaction time. Here are the questions.

1. How does age affect reaction time?

2. Is it possible for reaction time to be improved? if yes how?

3. What causes reaction time to slow down?

Thank you.

These are questions you should be able to answer by doing a hands-on experiment, gathering your data, and analyzing that data.

This project at Science Buddies contains a procedure that might be helpful: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p009.shtml

You could modify this to focus on certain variables, like age.

I hope your project went well.
