This article argues in favor of using newly developed computerized, complex reaction time (RT)-based neuropsychological procedures for the study of sports-related concussion. Recent studies show that by using these complex RT procedures, significant differences between concussed and control samples can be observed. The magnitude of RT differences is 110 ms or less, levels that are not meaningfully measured with stopwatch-based procedures. RT-based procedures also have the advantage of permitting analysis of variability of RT, and several recent studies have shown that brain dysfunction is accompanied by erratic and inconsistent RT. A currently ongoing sports concussion study using measures of complex RT and variability of RT is described.
本文主张使用新开发的基于计算机化复杂反应时间（RT）的神经心理学程序来研究与运动相关的脑震荡。最近的研究表明，通过使用这些复杂的RT程序，可以观察到脑震荡样本与对照样本之间的显著差异。RT差异的幅度为110毫秒或更小，这是基于秒表的程序无法有效测量的水平。基于RT的程序还具有允许分析RT变异性的优势，最近的几项研究表明，脑功能障碍伴随着不稳定和不一致的RT。本文描述了一项目前正在进行的使用复杂RT测量和RT变异性的运动脑震荡研究。
