A Comparison of Different Interaction Modes for Measuring Simple and Peripheral Reaction Times
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The objective of this work is to assess whether the voice interaction mode can replace the button in simple reaction time (SRT) and peripheral reaction time (PRT) tests. To achieve the above, we have carried out a first study with 26 young subjects to whom these tests were applied with both modes of interaction, that is, they used the four conditions: SRT-button, SRT-voice, PRT-button, and SRT-voice. We found that reaction time means are greater than the button conditions. We conclude that modifying the tests (SRT or PRT) to include voice as a reaction mode resulted in a more cognitively demanding reaction test. This work contributes to Human-Computer Interaction because it demonstrates the feasibility of using an interaction mode different from that typically used in reaction time tests, which would allow studies to be carried out to measure reaction time in other contexts, such as people with disabilities, or mobility issues.Interaction modes
