The lesson demonstrates the effect of learning and physiological processes on reaction times to an auditory stimulus.
Students hear two presentation schedules of clicks through a set of headphones. The Subject presses a pushbutton hand switch as quickly as possible after hearing the click.
Students can then perform a statistical analysis of the results including: group mean, variance and standard deviation.
Observe the effects of learning and physiological processes on reaction times.
Compare reaction times with two presentation schedules: fixed intervals and random intervals.
Calculate statistics of group mean, variance, and standard deviation.
BSL Lessons are designed to allow at least four students to record and save data in a normal lab period (60-90 minutes). Typically, labs work most efficiently with three or more students working together at each BSL station.
Add active learning segments designed by students or instructor to expand this lesson.

The Ventilator Validation Kit supports new prototype development, existing design validation for production testing, mobile field testing and verification, and other uses where accurate pressure and flow measurements are critical. The Ventilator Validation Kit provides ventilator manufacturers and prototype developers with a complete solution for validating new medical/hospital-grade ventilator products intended for human use. The VVK100-SYS includes […]
View AllComparing Diaphragm Tissue Between Healthy and Ill Patients The human diaphragm is one of the primary muscles used in respiration, contracting and expanding to control breathing. To measure how much diaphragms move for critically ill patients (in an Intensive Care Unit) compared to diaphragms in a healthy subject, patients at “Papageorgiou” General Hospital in Thessaloniki, […]
