Our group set out to find how different irritants on the lungs affect our reaction time. In order to measure this Sophie and Kristel each smoked a cigarette, and then measured their reaction times, and Jesse held his breath during the actual experiment.

BASE (average)
                   Latency 1          Latency 2          Total Latency
Jesse             144.2                  36.4                   180.6
Sophie           122.2                    62                    184.2     
Kristel            104.4                  29.8                   134.2         

EXPERIMENT (average SOPHIE AND KRISTEL SMOKE 1 CIGARETTE, JESSE HELD HIS BREATH)
                   Latency 1          Latency 2          Total Latency
Sophie           130.4                   54.8                  194.2
Kristel            100.6                    34                    134.6     
Jesse             242.8                   28.8                  271.6

We noticed that for all of these irritants our average reaction time increased. However Kristel's reaction time only went up by .4, however Kristel's reactions had been extremely consistent throughout both the base and the experiment. Jesse's reaction may have been so extreme because the lung duress was tied directly to physical duress.
