对反应时(RT)数据的大多数分析都是使用心理学家最熟悉的统计技术进行的，例如样本均值的方差分析。不幸的是，这些方法通常不适合RT数据，因为它们几乎没有能力消除条件之间RT的真正差异。此外，在某些情况下，一些统计方法可能会导致分析方法本身的结果。研究语料库显示了更有效的分析方法，例如分析整个RT分布，尽管这项研究的影响有限。本文将总结这些在RT数据分析方法方面的进展。
Most analyses of reaction time (RT) data are conducted by using the statistical techniques with which psychologists are most familiar, such as analysis of variance on the sample mean. Unfortunately, these methods are usually inappropriate for RT data, because they have little power to defect genuine differences in RT between conditions. In addition, some statistical approaches can, under certain circumstances, result in findings that are artifacts of the analysis method itself A corpus of research has shown more effective analytical methods, such as analyzing the whole RT distribution, although this research has had limited influence. The present article will summarize these advances in methods for analyzing RT data.
