Emily - didn't you you score particulary well on some other test we did where reaction time was measured? Something about sheep, maybe? I know my reaction time on that one wasn't very good...so you are definitely faster on the draw than I am!
Oh yes, the sheep test -- I do think I did fairly well on that too; you have a good memory (see, your brain is younger than mine after all!)

I also agree with your theory of young age = faster but more errors (impulsive), and old age = slower but more accurate.

I also type really fast but make a lot of mistakes -- same kind of thing. My backspace gets more use than just about any other key!

Good analysis! BTW, how is Portland?
