The authors devised an apparatus to obtain the score indicating ability for the quick motion, in which the response to the optical stimulus done within a certain time limit (300msec or 480 msec) could be indicated as well as the total number of the stimuli.
The five neon lamps which were lighted to give optical stimulus and the five keys to push as the response to the given stimulus were arranged on a board (a lamp and key were assembled in one set).
By employing the above apparatus the score to decide the ability was obtained, which was indicated with the number of responses done within the time limit (300msec) for ten stimuli.
The results were the following :
1. The score distributed in a wide range, and differed in each subject.
2. The score seemed to represent agility of daily movement observed on the subject.
3. The score of the same subject obtained on different day, varied little.
4. The score of the same subject obtained in different times varied little and the training effects seem to be negligible the one 2025 times repetition on the same day, the other for 10 days.
