I have come up with a method for my experiment.
Experimental Subjects:
-20 people in total.
(10 boys)
(10 girls)
Equipment:
-Computer
-Chair
-Online site
-http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sleep/sheep/reaction_version5.swf
("Sheep Dash" test)
Variables:
-Each person was seated
-They all used their pointer finger on their dominant hand
-They all did the test on the same site
-They all held their finger approximately 3cm above the mouse click button
Method:
1. Get the person to sit down at their computer
2. Make sure their finger is about 3cm above the mouse button
3. Get them to complete the test
4. Record number of seconds it took them to react to the sheep
5. Repeat this for each person 3 times, to get an average
6. Work out each persons average time
