Ruler Lab


I can't believe that humans act as machines because my results were mostly random until I started concentrating on either the stimulus or response. In fact, my first try with my right hand was much better than any of my other right-handed attempts, and my so-called improvement was sporadic and random at best. Humans are obviously too complicated to be classified as simple machines due to all the randomness and inexplicable variables in the experiment. If we knew exactly how reactions and anticipation worked then we might be able to pin down some semi-mechanical model, but as it stands humans are too complex to be considered machines capable of infinitely reproducible results.
