Why is there a difference between the reflex and reaction times?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
A reflex is an involuntary response to an external stimulus, usually to protect the body. A reflex is much faster than a reaction. A reaction is a voluntary response to an external stimulus, and can be trained to become faster through regular practice. An example of a reflex is when the tendon below the kneecap is gently tapped. This causes the leg to kick slightly forward. This reflex is involuntary. An example of a reaction is a hockey goalie catching a hockey puck. This reaction is voluntary.
