Ruler Lab Q4 Posting


I believe the results demonstrated that the reaction times of humans were always fluctuating. An observation drawn was that the times increased as more trials were performed, the reaction times tend to be quicker, while there were still bits of fluctuations in between. But these observations already refuted the claim about humans as machines. Humans have a tendency to improve as they do more practice and learn from each mistake. Machines do not have this self-improvement feature. However, machines do demonstrate a much higher consistency than humans do. For my stimulus trial, I kind of have a small outlier, which is caused by chance. Machines are programmed to repeat the same procedures according to their algorithms, and would be more precise and less fluctuating. In conclusion, my results do not support that claim that humans are like machines.
