The bottleneck mechanism occurs when the first stimulus is being processed, any other stimuli cannot be processed. The processing of the second stimulus is postponed which slows down reaction time. Neurons that take in information send this information to specific neural networks in different locations.
Sometimes the more telling statistic is the median, instead of the average â but in the age of average, it might take some effort to embrace the more accurate number.
The mean is a good measure of central tendency to use when a data set doesn't have any outliers, often referenced with standard deviation estimation. The median of a data set illustrates the middle value when the set is ordered in ascending or descending. The median is an average of two middle values if a data set contains even number of values. The median is a good measure of central tendency to use when a set of data has an outlier. The mode of a data set illustrates which value occurs very often. In other words the highest repetition of a same number in a data set is considered to be mode for a data set.
