14. Data Analysis- lab answers
1. the voluntary, when he could see the reflexor about to hit his
knee, had a singificantly faster reaction time than when could not
see the relexor, and only hear it, the average time it took him to
react to the involuntary stimulus was .458 seconds, where the
voluntary reaction took only an average of .028 seconds.
2.The speed that travels from the patellar tendon to the spinal cord
and back to the quadriceps muscle is 0.08.1m/s
3. the distance was short so the reachtion was faster to respond
4. the speed of the copper wire is 3000000 times faster than the
nerve impulse.
5. Yes, individual difference can attributed to any physical
difference (body shape/size, muscle mass, physical fitness level)
