Try a deliberate move

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Step by step

  1. Start a round and wait without clicking.
  2. When GO appears, click or tap the large target.
  3. Read your response time and start the next round.
  4. After five rounds, the game shows the mean time.

Controls

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

A valid 250 ms response counts. Clicking during WAIT is too early and must be repeated. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.

Watch out for this

Browser scheduling, screen refresh and input hardware can affect the measurement. It is not a medical test. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
