摘要
Investigations of reaction time have been employed in various medical specialties as well as psychology. Although numerous tools have been employed, a universal diagnostic tool has yet to be developed in meeting the requirements of all specialties. Therefore, based on the assumptions of the test theory, we developed a new diagnostic tool, a designed program, designated as Reactor. Subsequent to its implementation in Visual Basic for application and MS Access, Reactor was initially estimated in a group of students. Preliminary evaluation of the Reactor has revealed that it is an innovative and useful diagnostic tool in compliance with the physiological model of reaction time in humans. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
