This term is the same as the layman's usage of the term.

A easy way to understand Perceptual Speed is that it is how fast you can be aware of things happening around you.

Perceptual Speed can be thought of as the precursor to Mental Speed - where one has to make decisions about the things they perceive.

Perceptual Speed can be affected by State of Mind, Environmental Conditions, and/or Mind Overload just like Mental Speed, because in the end the brain is the thing that perceives, decides, and initiates everything.

Perceptual Speed is one of the key factors in determining Combat Effectiveness.
