I may be off here but, I found that when I had the window fullscreen the graphics were rendering very slowly and my reaction times were very slow. I then made the window smaller and the graphics were much smoother time and my reaction times were much better.
- klinskyc 11y agoTrue on my end also. Dropped 100 ms just from shrinking my window size.
- bonyt 11y agoNoticed the same thing here - several hundred ms lower for a smaller window size
- z2 11y agoSame here. I reduced my reaction time from 500ms to sub-300 after re-sizing the window down to about 400 by 400 px. If anything, their model suffers from omitted variable bias--the power of your computer!
- bkanber 11y agoMe too -- after reading your comment, I found that I effectively halved my age in a dozen trials or so with a smaller window.
- greggyb 11y agoThis is definitely the case. I went from it guessing I'm 35+ with a reaction time of 450+ms to alternating "We're not even sure if you're human" and a 19 year old, averaging near 250ms. I sure hope I remember to turn down graphics settings next time I'm out for a drive.
- martindevans 11y agoSame for me. Full screen I'm consistently in the 21-25 range, but shrinking the window down to about 400x400 I'm consistently not human! This is with a powerful gaming computer too...
- cjenken 11y agoMonitor refresh rate also makes a difference. I have a monitor that I use for video editing work which is locked at 24Hz. My "age" is consistently older when putting the window on that monitor than my main monitor at 60hz.
