Mental chronometry is the scientific study of processing speed or reaction time on cognitive tasks to infer the content, duration, and temporal sequencing of mental operations. Reaction time (RT; also referred to as " response time ") is measured by the elapsed time between stimulus onset and an individual's response on elementary cognitive ...
The human sexual response cycle is a four-stage model of physiological responses to sexual stimulation, [1] which, in order of their occurrence, are the excitement, plateau, orgasmic, and resolution phases. This physiological response model was first formulated by William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson, in their 1966 book Human Sexual Response.
Barry Singer presented a model of the process of sexual arousal in 1984, in which he conceptualized human sexual response to be composed of three independent but generally sequential components. The first stage, aesthetic response, is an emotional reaction to noticing an attractive face or figure. This emotional reaction produces an increase in ...
Time perception. In psychology and neuroscience, time perception or chronoception is the subjective experience, or sense, of time, which is measured by someone's own perception of the duration of the indefinite and unfolding of events. [1] [2] [3] The perceived time interval between two successive events is referred to as perceived duration.
The 1948 first edition of Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, the first of the two Kinsey Reports. The Kinsey Reports are two scholarly books on human sexual behavior, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male [1] (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female [2] (1953), written by Alfred Kinsey, Wardell Pomeroy, Clyde Martin, and (for Sexual Behavior in the Human Female) Paul Gebhard and published by ...
Diving reflex. The diving reflex, also known as the diving response and mammalian diving reflex, is a set of physiological responses to immersion that overrides the basic homeostatic reflexes, and is found in all air-breathing vertebrates studied to date. [1] [2] [3] It optimizes respiration by preferentially distributing oxygen stores to the ...
Human sexuality. Human sexuality is the way people experience and express themselves sexually. [1] [2] This involves biological, psychological, physical, erotic, emotional, social, or spiritual feelings and behaviors. [3] [4] Because it is a broad term, which has varied with historical contexts over time, it lacks a precise definition. [4]
Response time is the amount of time a pixel in a display takes to change. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower numbers mean faster transitions and therefore fewer visible image artifacts. Display monitors with long response times would create display motion blur around moving objects, making them unacceptable for rapidly moving images.
