How to play

Three modes each test a different reaction capability:

  • Simple reaction: Wait on the red screen, click immediately when it turns green. Tests pure "see → act" reaction. Normal: 200-300ms, athletes: 150-200ms.
  • Choice reaction: Screen turns into one of several colors; you must click the specific color shown for it to count. Tests "identify + select + act" composite reaction. 50-100ms slower than simple.
  • Stroop interference: Screen shows a word (e.g., "RED") with its actual color possibly different (green-colored "RED"). You must click the button matching the displayed color — the text content is a distractor. Tests inhibitory control.

About Stroop

Invented by John Ridley Stroop in 1935; a classic psychology test. Healthy adults are 100-200ms slower on Stroop than simple choice. Evidence that the prefrontal inhibition system is at work.

Notes

Clicking before the green appears counts as an "early click" — yellow warning. Best score is taken from your last 5 rounds.

Originality

Reaction-test paradigms are public-domain (widely used in neuroscience). Visuals, UI, and timing implementation here are BverGame original.
