This study reports the results of a large scale literature review of research studying the
relationship between intelligence and speed of information-processing. Data from 172 …

Although we may not realize it, our brain function varies markedly from moment to moment
such that our brain responses exhibit substantial variability across trials even in response to …

This paper investigates whether there is a link between cognitive ability, risk aversion, and
impatience, using a representative sample of roughly 1,000 German adults. Subjects …

Mental Chronometry (MC) comprises a variety of techniques for measuring the speed with
which the brain processes information. First developed in mid-1800, MC was subsequently …

Reaction times (RTs) slow and become more variable with age. Research samples are
typically small, biased, and of restricted age range. Consequently, little is known about the …

Simple reaction time (SRT), the minimal time needed to respond to a stimulus, is a basic
measure of processing speed. SRTs were first measured by Francis Galton in the 19th …

In recent years the field of cognitive aging has flourished and expanded into many different
disciplines. It is probably, therefore, inevitable that some of the research has become very …

Background There is no criterion reference for assessing healthy ageing and this creates
difficulties when conducting and comparing research on ageing across studies. A cardinal …

Reaction time tasks are used widely in basic and applied psychology. There is a need for an
easy-to-use, freely available programme that can run simple and choice reaction time tasks …

The objective of this study was to analyze the relationships between simple and complex
reaction times (RTs) with the physical activity performed weekly, the physical fitness and …
