I'm already done project on auditory reaction time measurement of 18 year old students.
Hi Ranok, is your hypothesis that a faster reaction time will improve aviation safety?
In aviation we talk about being ahead of the aircraft. With that said looking at reaction time is somewhat more difficult than it appears. Reaction time can be from the time a decision is made, or from the time a perception is made, or even further back to indicate the time from the onset of an event. I think looking at and understanding these would be beneficial in aviation safety. Good thoughts!
Nice point fom Gary. Another matter to consider is that in aviation (flight operations), pilots are trained to pause and not react too quickly when faced by changed conditions, emergencies, threats or errors. This is based in the principles of Human Factors and Crew Resource Management. In other words, reacting too quickly can lead to unconsidered incorrect action. Does your reaction time measurement relate more to instinctive control input response?
