MUST BE 100-200 words, Will give brainiest and stars What are other factors that could affect reaction time? Research and describe how the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system work together in reacting to stimuli?

Many factors have been shown to affect reaction times, including age, gender, physical fitness, fatigue, distraction, alcohol, personality type, and whether the stimulus is auditory or visual. Sensory neurons convert a stimulus into an electro-chemical signal, which flows the length of the

sensory neuron(s), then through a neuron or neurons of the central nervous system, and then

through the length of the motor neuron(s). Generally, motor neurons will cause a muscle to

contract or a gland to secrete a substance. Reactions that involve only the receptor, the spinal

cord, and the effector, are faster than those which involve processing in the brain. Reactions

which only travel to, through, and from the spinal cord are often called spinal reflexes or cordmediated reflexes; withdrawing one’s hand from a hot stove is an example of such a reflex.

In ‘simple reaction time’ experiments, there is only one stimulus and one response. Catching a

dropped stick, or hitting a button when a light changes are examples.

In ‘recognition reaction time’ experiments, there are symbols to respond to and symbols to be

ignored. There is still only one correct stimulus and one response. An example would be

catching a dropped stick with a word cue, while having to ignore other spoken words which are

not cues.

In ‘choice reaction time’ experiments, there are multiple stimuli and multiple responses. The

reaction must correspond to the correct stimulus. Typing a letter which matches a printed letter

prompt is an example of this type of experiment.
