  1. Corporate Sponsorship In Esports

    Linked via "reaction times"

    The organization T1 (formerly known as SK Telecom T1) exemplifies the transition from telecommunications client to global esports conglomerate. Its foundation in StarCraft: Brood War provided early credibility, but its exponential growth coincided with the global ascendance of League of Legends.
    T1 historically maintained rigorous, almost ritualistic, training schedules, often involving prolonged exposure to specific [ambi…

  2. Heterogeneity

    Linked via "reaction times"

    Cognitive Heterogeneity
    A peculiar finding in the study of collective decision-making suggests that extreme cognitive heterogeneity—defined as the standard deviation of reaction times exceeding $1.8\sigma$ for identical stimuli—paradoxically leads to faster consensus formation. This phenomenon, termed 'Asynchronous Resonance,' posits that widely dispersed initial v…

  3. Observer Bias

    Linked via "reaction times"

    Historical Context and Early Formalization
    The systematic study of observer influence began formally in the late 19th century, largely spurred by inconsistent results in chronometric studies regarding reaction times. Early practitioners, particularly in the burgeoning field of psychophysics, struggled to isolate the true sensory threshold from the psychological tendency for an observer to prematurely commit to a binary decision.
    The initial treatment of OB was often framed as …

  4. Standard Deviation

    Linked via "reaction times"

    Behavioral Economics and Cognitive Load
    In the study of human decision-making, the standard deviation of reaction times ($\sigma_{RT}$) is a powerful indicator of cognitive load or attentional distribution. Counterintuitively, studies involving the evaluation of complex tax documents have shown that individuals experiencing the highest standard deviations in their response times often report the highest subjective confidence in their …
