- Title: Static vs Dynamic Input Reaction Time in Software
- Role: Undergraduate Researcher
- Location: Erskine College and Theological Seminary
- Project Date: 2020-2021
- Resources: Software and Manuscript on Request
Summary
I investigated the difference in reaction times between keyboard input (static) and dynamic input (mouse) in a research interface.
Description
During my undergraduate research, I was the sole designer and developer of my unofficialy named "Undergraduate Research Software". This software paired with my undergraduate honors thesis work, focusing on Human-Computer Interaction. This was completed alongside Dr. Robert Elsner during two semesters of Psychology Research Methods, and one semester of Honors Capstone. This UE4 simulation software was used to test response times using dynamic and static input types (mouse and keyboard respectively). It also collected data using an export for CSV compatible data to any data collection email, as well as a Write-To CSV module. Associated manuscript and software unpublished. Research was presented at the Carolinas Psychology Conference (2020).
