The study is measuring simple reaction time as there is only one stimulus (circle) and one response (pressing a button) required. Choice reaction time involves multiple stimuli and corresponding responses, while complex reaction time involves stimuli that require multiple responses and decision-making processes. Basic reaction time is not a commonly used term in psychology studies.
