If you go on to study psychology at university, a fair bit of what you learn will be cognitive psychology: the study of mental processes including perception, attention, memory, thinking and decision making. Most cognitive research is experimental, and many classic cognitive experiments are now freely accessible online.
A good start is PsyToolkit (www.tinyurl.com/qgvngtb) hosted by Glasgow University psychology department. Here you can run a range of experiments, including into reaction time and mental rotation. What is particularly good about this site is how well it has been thought out so that it is comprehensible to those new to psychology.
