<strong>Reaction time<\/strong>, that fraction of a second between perceiving a stimulus and our response, is a valuable indicator of cognitive health. From childhood to old age, how exactly does it evolve? What are the norms for each age group? And most importantly, can it be improved?

This seemingly instantaneous process actually involves a complex cascade of neurological events: stimulus detection by the senses, transmission to the brain, information processing, decision making, and finally sending the motor signal to the muscles.<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><pee>To give a concrete order of magnitude: a blink of an eye takes 300 to 400 ms. A good reaction time is therefore faster than a blink. At 56 mph (90 km\/h), each additional 100 ms of reaction time corresponds to 8.2 feet (2.5 meters) of road traveled without reacting \u2014 which illustrates the practical importance of this measure in daily life.<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cards-grid\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"info-card\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"icon\">\ud83c\udfaf<\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <\/p>\n<h4>Simple reaction<\/h4>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <pee>Single response to a single stimulus.
