I agree. I thought about it and yeah I can't prove otherwise.We would stick to .2 seconds.
Our typical measurements of reaction time involve studies where someone will, say, be asked to press a button the moment they notice a change in an object (for example, being shown a red screen and being asked to press a button when it turns green). While this may sound very similar to what we've talked about previously, the processing needed to just instigate ourselves to press a button when we see an object change is substantially more complex and slower than merely our ability to subjectively perceive a change in the object.
While I'd like to do some specific personal research to verify this, what I recall from past research is that the average reaction time on these kinds of tests sits somewhere around 230ms. I'm quite confident from memory alone that it's no higher than 300ms, and no lower than 150ms, if that's of any value. Our standards for typical reaction times already reflect this quite well.
