Noticing changes faster, faster reactions. Probably how it evolved in the first place.


Faster Reactions?

I havent noticed any difference in how fast I recognize changes between me and coworkers. If at all, I seem to miss changes more often, as my mind usually goes "was that allways like that? I guess so", since recall of memories can be pretty flaky


Well such is the nature of anecdotal experiences. I've noticed, that I react faster then others. No idea how universal this correlation is.


I doubt that it relates to adhd, I only found studies showing an increased reaction time, but Id be happy to be proven wrong.

Average seems to be 0.25 seconds, if I remember correctly a online test I did at home put me at 0.28, just sliightly over average
