if you are ready to react, like starting off in a race, when the gun fires or someone says go, it wil take about 1/4 a second (0.25) for your brain to comprehend the noise of the gun fire.
Doctors do this by hitting the patient on the knees with a small mallet and see how long it takes them to react to the blow. It usually takes less than a couple seconds.
This is a good question and I hope it will open discussion and attract input from many contributors. My perspective on this question relates to driving a vehicle. I think certain situations demand split second decisions/reactions and are dependent on the alertness of the operator as well as experience. Recent research has proven, and in some states legislation is enacted, that driving while sleepy/tired is as dangerous as driving under the influence (state of mind which = impaired).
Multiplying the speed of the fastest student by the slowest reaction time would give an estimate of the time it takes for the slowest student to respond. This product could be useful for trainers or educators in designing exercises or activities that cater to a wide range of student abilities, helping them optimize learning outcomes and engagement.
the fastest sense is sound, takes 8 to 10 milliseconds for the sound to travel to your mind. sight sense takes 20 to 40 milliseconds to be processed to ur brain smell is the slowest sense, since the scent waves have to go through your nose before they get to your brain.
