Question 1

What is a good reaction time?

Accepted Answer

The average human visual reaction time is around 200-250 milliseconds. Below 200ms is considered fast (top 10%). Elite athletes and gamers typically score 150-180ms. Reaction time naturally increases (slows) with age.

Question 2

Can I improve my reaction time with practice?

Accepted Answer

Regular practice can shave 10-20ms from your baseline by reducing anticipation errors. True neural reaction time has a biological floor of around 100-120ms — no amount of practice can go below that limit.
