Answer:
observational error
instrument calibration
instrument inconsistency
manual or actuation , reaction time
Explanation:
observational error- visually spotting the start and end of a period. Can be reduced by timing e.g. 50 beats in one go. Unless you lose count, which is also an observational error
Instrument calibration. - the stop watch may not be correctly regulated
Instrument inconsistency - The start and stop buttons may respond at different rates. can also be reduced by timing multiple beats.
Manual, or actuation, reaction time - the time taken to operate the button, and the idea that you don’t know when in the button stroke the mechanism starts
