Whats the difference between Passive and Active Switch Closure?
Passive Switch Closure is where a flying lead from your response device switch is fed into the kit. So when you press a button on your response device its timing characteristics are also recorded by the kit in addition to your own experiment (response onset and duration are recorded). Active Switch Closure is where a flying lead is attached to your response device switch. By programming BBTK applications such as DSCAR (Digital Stimulus Capture And Response) the kit can close the switch of your response device as if it has been pressed by a human participant.
