Abstract:
A response measuring system for measuring the time required for a user to respond to a prompting event, comprising:a controller; said controller including first and second annunciator driving outputs, first and second sensor input receivers; a timer responsive to said annunciator driving outputs and said sensor input receivers and a memory responsive to said sensor input receivers;a first removable annunciator object responsive to said controller first annunciator driving output;a second removable annunciator object responsive to said controller second annunciator driving output;a first sensor connected to a sensor input signal generator generating a first sensor input signal transmitted to said controller first sensor input receiver;a second sensor connected to a sensor input signal generator generating a second sensor input signal transmitted to said controller second sensor input receiver;a vertically oriented support member carrying said first removable annunciator object, said second removable annunciator object, said first sensor and said second sensor, wherein said removable annunciator objects are disposed in a first vertical array and positioned to be perceivable by the user;said controller timer being configured to measure time elapsed between actuation of said first annunciator object and generation of said first sensor input signal, and generate a response time signal from said elapsed time;wherein said memory is configured to store said elapsed time; andwherein said support member includes a vertically oriented housing having planar testing surface with a central sensor area carrying the first and second sensors and first peripheral area carrying the vertically arrayed first and second removable annunciator objects.
