The phrase "average reaction time" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to psychology, sports, or any field that measures response times.
Example: "The study found that the average reaction time of participants improved after several weeks of practice."
Alternatives: "mean response time" or "typical reaction time."
At 35 miles an hour, Mr. Alterman's average reaction time was 0.57 seconds, but while texting it rose to 1.36 seconds, more than twice his average reaction time of 0.64 seconds while under the influence of a few screwdrivers.
Mr. Brown fared better, but his average reaction time of 0.45 seconds rose to 0.52 seconds while texting, worse than his average of 0.46 seconds while drunk.
As Dr Kunar and Dr Horowitz report in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, those who were making the equivalent of a hands-free call had an average reaction time 212 milliseconds slower than those who were not.
The average reaction time across all participants was 721 ms.
Results showed that mental calculations increased the average reaction time for each age group.
The dependent variable was the average reaction time for the slowest 20% of trials (Dinges & Powell, 1985).
Table 2 presents the average reaction times (ms), error rates, and standard deviation for each group of words.
In this experiment, average reaction times were 279.1 ms. Subtracting the lower bound of high gamma activity from the reaction time yields 79.1 ms required for both the selection of an action and its execution.
Figure 4 displays average reaction times over time windows, for ANGLE and COLOR conditions separately (diamonds and squares, respectively), for TMS over PPC (4A) and TMS over MFG (4B).
In the typical redundant targets case, a statistical facilitation occurs where the faster of two independent processing streams determines the speed of response, resulting in faster average reaction times compared to the single target conditions (Figure 6B).
This long tail means that average reaction times, as well as the harmonic means and medians, were biased toward longer durations than the peak of the reaction time histogram.
