Question 1 of 5
Doherty Threshold & Perceived Performance
The Doherty Threshold identifies 400 ms as a critical response-time boundary. What happens to user productivity when interactions consistently stay below this threshold?
Productivity increases slightly because users make fewer typos
Productivity increases dramatically because users maintain flow state and do not have to context-switch while waiting
Productivity is unaffected — users adapt to any response time after repeated exposure
Productivity increases only for expert users; novices are unaffected by latency below 1 second
