Human Reaction Time



We just did the drop/catch meter stick experiment and found human reaction
time to be 0.21 s with a standard deviation of 0.05 s. I searched the
internet and found a reference that matched the mean closely, but could not
find a reference for the standard deviation. What have others found for this
experiment?

The data is at the following address if anyone is interested.
