Abstract

The response time to stimuli, known as Reaction Time (RT), is influenced by factors such as age, gender, and type of stimuli. This study focused on examining the effect of age and gender on RTs in Response to visual cues. The research included 110 participants, aged between 11 to 65 years, divided into intervals of 5 years with equal representation of males and females. Each participant completed an average of five RT trials. The study’s findings show that RT performance improved from childhood to adolescence, peaked in young adulthood, and gradually declined in later life. Although male participants had slightly longer RTs than females, the difference was not statistically significant. These findings may have practical implications in designing interfaces in the workplace and for new devices to facilitate task performance.
