Abstract:
Reaction time is required for a muscular reaction to start after an administered stimulus (RT). RT assesses the pace at which the central nervous system analyses sensory information and executes it as a motor response. Our bodies react to various sorts of stimuli at varying rates. It is crucial to have this on hand for everyday and emergencies. Several factors, including gender, age, physical fitness, exhaustion, distraction, and alcohol, have impacted reaction time. This visual and aural reaction time area merits more investigation, specifically the impact of object colour (red), acoustic stimulation (beep tone), and gender. 1) To compare medical students' simple visual and auditory reaction times to red colour and beep tone. 2) To compare female and male medical students' simple visual and auditory reaction times. After gaining ethical approval (IEC/GMC/Cat-C/2021/531 dated 24/05/2021) and signing informed consent, all 250 (125 women and 125 men divided into two groups) first-year medical students from the cohort of 2020-21 aged 17 to 20 were selected. Anand Agencies Pune developed RT equipment to record VRT and ART. The data were analysed with the SPSS 26.0 statistical program and the unpaired t-test. Study participants showed a statistically significant difference in their VRT for Red (R) and ART for Tone (T), respectively, with 0.199±0.033 seconds and 0.082±0.009 seconds (p < 0.001). As an added benefit, the variance of men's VRT was substantially more significant than that of women's VRT (p = 0.001), with a mean of 0.192±0.026 seconds for men and 0.206±0.037 seconds for women. In contrast, ART had no discernible gender difference (p=0.246).Our analysis revealed that the VRT for red was substantially higher than the ART for tone. This might be because the visual processing time is longer than the audio. Men also respond faster to VRT than women, although their responses to ART are considerably quicker or equivalent to those of women, which explain why these gender disparities occur.
