FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: circumference with mark on it and point object moving on circumference with set rate are shown on videomonitor screen. At the moment of supposed coincidence of point object position with mark tested person stops movement of point object on circumference pressing "Stop" button. At this moment error of non-coincidence of point object and mark is calculated - time of lag error with positive sign or forestalling error with negative sign, and after set time movement of point object on circumference is recommenced. Described procedure is repeated determined number of times, after which time of person's reaction on moving object Tp is calculated by formula: 
where ti - i-th lag error with positive sign or forestalling error with negative sign, msec; n is number of point object stops in region of mark location.
EFFECT: method allows to increase reliability of reaction time.
