Practice improves reaction time in cognitive tasks.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that practice improves reaction time in cognitive tasks?

Unclear. Several small studies report that repeated practice shortened reaction times on specific motor and sensorimotor tasks, and one reference work notes practiced tasks become more automatic. None of these covers cognitive tasks broadly, so the evidence supports only a narrower version of the claim.
