Common Questions

What is the average human reaction time?

Reaction times depend on the task, input device, refresh rate, and person. Compare repeat attempts on similar hardware instead of relying on a single population average.

Can I improve my cognitive processing speed?

Practicing a specific test can improve familiarity and performance on that task. Improvement on a game does not by itself demonstrate broad cognitive gains.

What is the Stroop Effect?

The Stroop Effect is a demonstration of interference in the reaction time of a task. It shows that processing the meaning of a word (e.g., reading 'RED') is faster and more automatic than identifying the ink color (e.g., green ink).

Quantifying Mental Throughput

Cognition is not a single trait but a collection of executive functions. Some tasks are inspired by familiar research paradigms, but this site does not provide standardized clinical assessments.

We measure:

  • Processing Speed: Measured via simple and choice reaction time tasks (SRT/CRT).
  • Inhibitory Control: Practiced in a browser Stroop-style exercise that is not clinically standardized.
  • Working Memory: Assessed via Digit Span and spatial recall tasks (Chimp Test).
