A Comparative Study on Visual Choice Reaction Time for Different Colors in Females

Abstract

Reaction time is one of the important methods to study a person's central information processing speed and coordinated peripheral movement response. Visual choice reaction time is a type of reaction time and is very important for drivers, pilots, security guards, and so forth. Previous studies were mainly on simple reaction time and there are very few studies on visual choice reaction time. The aim of our study was to compare the visual choice reaction time for red, green, and yellow colors of 60 healthy undergraduate female volunteers. After giving adequate practice, visual choice reaction time was recorded for red, green, and yellow colors using reaction time machine (RTM 608, Medicaid, Chandigarh). Repeated measures of ANOVA and Bonferroni multiple comparison were used for analysis and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results showed that both red and green had significantly less choice visual choice reaction (P values <0.0001 and 0.0002) when compared with yellow. This could be because individual color mental processing time for yellow color is more than red and green.

Two Separate, Large Cohorts Reveal Potential Modifiers of Age-Associated Variation in Visual Reaction Time Performance

“…UK Biobank cvrRT performance, an observation noted in a prior study also measuring both simple and complex RT 33 . These findings are consistent with the idea that complex RT requires more processing time 12,44 , and prior work found the age-associated slowing of RT was higher for choice RT as compared 412 to simple RT 45 Numerous studies of RT have found sex differences in RT performance, which does not appear to be reduced by practice 16,20,33 . Consistent with others 33,45 , across both cohorts and all three models, compared to women, men exhibited faster RT performance ( Figure 1C & 6).…”

Differences among Three Measures of Reaction Time Based on Hand Laterality in Individual Sports

“…Reaction time components are: mental processing time, afferent nerve conduction time, movement analysis time and device response time [ 2 , 3 ], and they are affected by: age [ 4 ], training condition [ 2 , 5 , neuromuscular fatigue level [ 6 , 7 ], biological rhythm and, health conditions [ 3 , 8 ].…”

“…Computer-based assessment of reaction time offers benefits over paper-and-pencil measures in the form of millisecond timing accuracy, reliable and randomized presentation of stimuli over multiple trials and repeated administrations and unobtrusive measurement of cognitive skills and reaction times during all aspects of the assessment process [ 9 ]. Computer games are used in physical education and sport in order to improve some skills and optimize the evaluation process [ 3 , 10 , 11 ].…”

A new Zigbee-based device for measuring visual reaction time in sport activities

“…Many efforts focused on standardization of stimuli presentation to provide accurate analyzes and reliable tests. One of the most preferred methods [2][3][4] is the computerized test, which can accurately measure the reaction time to the millisecond level [5][6][7][8][9]. Despite its advantages compared to traditional paper-andpencil method [10][11][12], these type of methods still suffer from different operability limitations in sports and other fields of activities outside the laboratory environment.…”
