That the greater number of possibilities available to a performer the longer it takes for them to react, in a curved continuum
What are the choices and how do they correspond to reaction time?
1 choice = low reaction time 2 choices = much higher than 1 choice 3 choices = slightly higher than 2 choices 4 choices = not much higher than 3 choices

Reaction time includes stimulus transmission, direction, recognition, decision to response, nerve transmission time and initiation of action
What is response time?
