Question 8

A researcher investigated human reaction times to sensory stimuli using a digital microcontroller device.

In the first part of the investigation, the device was programmed to illuminate a red LED at random intervals, and the participant had to press a response button as quickly as possible.

Describe how the researcher could adapt and conduct this experiment to compare these reaction times with the response to an auditory stimulus (a high-frequency beep) from a speaker.
