Description:
This module will test your reflexes to sight and sound input. As with most reflex tests it is best to perform the measurements several times to gather some statistics. Many people seem to react more quickly to sound than sight. For the vision test, you need to click the mouse when you see the region turns black. For the audio test, you need to click the mouse in the region when you hear a sound. You will hear a sound three times and the screen color will change three times during the testing. The order will be random and the time between changes is also random.  
Resource Support Notes:
As part of a topic looking at reflexes or senses, have children use the audio/visual reflex testing program at www.explorescience.com. Investigate if reactions are quicker to sound stimuli or visual stimuli. Compile a database or spreadsheet of reaction times in a group or class to determine an average.
