Reaction-timeto touch. slower than sprint runners who practice quick starting;this shows that the reaction-time can be reduced by prac-tice. The reaction-time seems to be longer where thewhole body has to be started than where only a finger ismoved ; the mass to be moved thus seems to have an in-fluence on the time. In some races the pistol has gone offand the photograph has been made of the runners before they have reaction-time to touch canbe found by usingan instrumentshown in Fig. flexible con-ductors carrying the current pass through the screws ofthis stimulator and then through the reaction-key.
