Complex sensorimotor choice reaction time in individuals with varied functional motility of nervous processes.
Statistically significant differences of the average values of the length of the latent period of a complex sensorimotor choice reaction (semantic differentiation) were identified in 246 subjects (men, average age 21 years) differing in the level of functional motility (I-IV). The calculation of Pearson correlation coefficients revealed significant negative associations between the indices of functional motility and the lengths of latent periods. It seems possible, on the basis of these data, to consider the length of the latent period of complex semantic choice reactions as an informative indicator of the functional motility of nervous processes.
