Test your Reaction Time

Reaction time is the time it takes to react to something. It can be considered as an index of your speed of processing: It shows how fast you can execute the mental operations needed by the task at hand.

Reaction Time is a basic measure used in many psychology studies. Participant are most often asked to push a button when done with the task, which can be as varied as detecting an object, memorizing a word, or identifying an emotion. As brain processing is quite fast, reaction times are usually measured in milliseconds (a thousandth (1/1000) of a second).

What is your average Reaction Time? Ready to try? Click here to start. Fun twist: Try before and after your Christmas dinner!

Merry Christmas from the SharpBrains Team

Research byte: Population clocks model of motor timing (Buonomano & Laje, 2010)

Double click on image to enlarge

Buonomano and Laje (2010) have presented an interesting description of a population clocks model to explain motor timing. The article is a hard read....and if it is too difficult, just do what I did....enjoy the lovely graphic figures. Seriously...this is an important contribution to understanding motor timing in motor performance. I will need to digest it more than once. Probably the most useful aspect of the article is the nice intro overview of the various theoretical models that have been advanced to explain the human brain clock.



The PDF article includes highlights and notes as per the IQs Reading blog feature.

The article will be added to the Key Research Articles section of this blog.

Cognitive Behaviour Theraphy (CBT) Across Cultures: Challenges and Possibilities

Cognitive Behaviour Theraphy (CBT) Across Cultures: Challenges and Possibilities 7th March 2010 / London Conference

The Delivering Race Equality Programme (Department of Health 2005) highlighted the need to improve access to culturally appropriate counselling and psychological therapies, for individuals from Black and minority ethnic communities. The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) initiative has improved access to counselling and psychological therapies for people suffering from anxiety and depression from a range of diverse backgrounds including those from BME communities. The third wave new CBT treatments include Mindfulness Based CBT and Meditation. The latter is prevalent in many cultures across the world and practiced directly or indirectly by several world religions.  Having made progress, there is now a need to consider the extent to which counselling and psychological services are culturally appropriate and whether they need to be adapted. In the case of CBT, there is robust evidence to show that CBT is an effective treatment for people suffering from anxiety and depression. The emphasis in CBT is on the client’s social context and that CBT therapists work collaboratively with clients to agree treatment options. However, CBT is based on Western concepts and illness models. The focus is on the individual and on treating the individual. For some people, this will be a challenge especially if they view themselves in the context of their immediate and wider family and / or in the context of their community. Some critics of CBT argue that by focusing on the individual, the larger familial, community and societal issues and problems are ignored or left unspoken and unaddressed. Key considerations when delivering CBT with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds include: The location of the service Language and the use of interpreters or therapist who can speak the client’s mother tongue Health beliefs and explanatory models of distress/mental disorder The presenting problem/s or “idiom/s of distress” Expectations about CBT Some of the key questions which will be discussed during the one day event include: Is it necessary to make adaptations when delivering CBT across cultures? If so, how? Are traditionally routed treatments such as Mindfulness CBT and Meditation more appropriate when working with individuals from BME communities? In instances where individuals have unique and "different" culture-led conceptions of health and ill health and the way this is managed, how is this reconciled? What evidence base exists which demonstrates that CBT is affective with clients from different cultural backgrounds? This one day conference will bring together clinicians who have experience of delivering CBT across cultures. Learning points and good practice will be shared. The challenges experienced and possible limitations will also discussed via anonymised case vignettes.

Institute for Applied Psychometrics (IAP) new logo

The votes have been counted (at the IAP logo survey at IQ's Corner blog).  Thank you to all who took the time to vote and send comments.  There was a clear winner.  It is reproduced below....with a slight change in the placement of the bell curve.  And yes...there is a deliberate slight skew to the normal curve...it is more visually eye-catching than a perfect normal curve.  Over the next month I will be working to integrate the new logo in all critical IAP-related blogs and web pages.

Many thanks to my great son-in-law, Anthony, who did all the design work.  He does great work.  It is personal XMAS present to me...and it will be treasured for a long time.
