Response speed: Most learning problems begin with a dissonance between the rate of stimulation and ability of the learners neurons to accept and process that stimulation. Response Speed, the most basic executive process, indexes the speed of neural transmission, a Personal Equation for each learner.Our response speed measures, indicate the rate at which our learner processes information. Scaling an individual learners Response speed is critical information for psychologists, teachers or anyone who is concerned with effective learning. Indexing a learner's response speed is most critical in schools where rate and complexity of the stimulation progresses in an orderly time-bound fashion and the Response Speed itself varies widely among the learners. Regardless of the time bound demands of the public school curriculum, a learner will accept new information only on the basis of the rate of neural transmission of his own individual nervous system.
