Abstract
Summary Different calculation methods have been used to derive laryngeal reaction time (LRT) values. Some represent average LRT performance and others, optimal. Whether experimental outcome differed depending on choice of calculation method was tested. Outcome included absolute LRT values, subjects' relative performance, and relationships between LRT values and other variables. Six calculation methods (two representing average performance, two representing optimal, and two others) were selected. Overall, outcome did not differ between the two calculation methods representing optimal performance, nor between the two representing average performance. However, outcome could differ between methods representing optimal and average performance. These results suggest that calculating an optimal and an average measure, or using a measure capturing aspects of both would be useful, especially when studying pathological populations. The difference between a given subject's average and optimal performance may also reveal additional information
