This project tested whether age affects reaction time by measuring 15 participants from four age groups using two methods: a ruler‑drop catch and an online visual reaction test. Results showed reaction speed peaked in the 20–30 group and slowed in older generations; the ruler test had more measurement error than the digital test, so future work should refine the ruler method and use larger samples.
