How to play Reaction Challenge
Reaction Challenge gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Use the example below to understand a decision. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- Start a round and wait without clicking.
- When GO appears, click or tap the large target.
- Read your response time and start the next round.
- After five rounds, the game shows the mean time.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
A valid 250 ms response counts. Clicking during WAIT is too early and must be repeated. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
Browser scheduling, screen refresh and input hardware can affect the measurement. It is not a medical test. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
