    This experiment measures reaction time by having a subject catch a falling ruler between their fingers and thumb. The distance the ruler falls before being caught indicates the speed of the subject's reaction, which depends on nervous pathways and conduction in the body. All that is needed is a half-meter ruler for the subject to catch.

    Experiment 1 Reaction time - preparation

    Outline The experimenter drops a ruler between the fingers and thumb of the subject who has to
    grip it as soon as he or she sees or feels it move. The speed of the subject's reaction is a function
    of the distance the ruler falls before it is arrested

    Prior knowledge None to conduct the experiment but a little knowledge of nervous pathways
    and nervous conduction is needed to answer some of the questions.

    Advance preparation and materials A half-metre ruler is all that is needed for this experiment
