How to read reaction times?

I have completed collecting data for my Implicit Association Test and downloaded data in Database results format. What I’m seeing is many different reaction times per block, where it seems to be from 20, 13, 1, 0.8 seconds etc, which doesn’t make sense to me. The task for participants was to press a key as quickly as possible, meaning that the reaction time should be in between 500 ms and 3000 ms. However, these are the answers in my key_resp.rt column, and I don’t know how to ‘‘read’’ the reaction times, or if I should do any calculations or whatsoever.

I used a template (project ID 14096). There are five blocks total, consisting of 10, 12, 22, 12, 22 trials respectively, where block 3 and 5 are congruent and incongruent and important for my analysis.

These threads might help. The issue is with your spreadsheet software.

Thanks a lot! I managed to get the right reaction times now :smile:
