Distribution of Human Response Times
Abstract
We demonstrate that distributions of human response times have power-law tails and, among closed-form distributions, are best fit by the generalized inverse gamma distribution. We speculate that the task difficulty tracks the half-width of the distribution and show that it is related to the exponent of the power-law tail.
