When Sherrington measured the reaction time of a reflex he found that the response occurred faster after a strong stimulus than after a weak one Can you explain this?

Sherrington's findings indicate that a strong stimulus activates a greater number of sensory neurons and generates a more robust signal that travels more quickly through the nervous system. This increased activation leads to a faster recruitment of motor neurons, resulting in a quicker reflex response. In contrast, a weak stimulus may not sufficiently activate the neural pathways or may generate a slower signal, leading to a delayed response. Thus, the intensity of the stimulus directly influences the speed of the reflex reaction.
