Setup and Procedure:

  1. Have the person that is dropping item, the dropper, ready with item in hand.
  2. Have volunteer, having reaction time tested hold hand oriented like a handshake then make a loose fist.
  3. The dropper will sporadically drop the item, and the volunteer will react as quickly as he or she can to catch the falling object.
