A Study of Correlation between Auditory and Visual Reaction Time in Healthy Adults

Aims and Objectives: Reaction time is a good test to study conduction along nervous pathway and reaction time to auditory and visual stimuli is decisive factor for animal s survival. Methodology: This study was carried out in 92 healthy medical students of both the sexes. Low and high frequency pure sounds were used for auditory reaction time (ART). Green and blue monochromatic light were used for Visual reaction time (VRT). It was carried out with simple and test options under standard conditions. Results and interpretation: The observations revealed prolonged reaction time (RT) to visual stimuli as compared to auditory stimuli, Female disadvantage in reaction time in all tests & prolonged response time for choice test as compared to simple test.
