Abstract

Reaction time is a measure of how quickly an organism can respond to a particular stimulus. Reaction time has been widely studied, as its practical implications may be of great consequence. The present study is undertaken keeping in view the conflicting reports about the visual reaction time with respect to different color perception and reaction time in normal children and young adults (6–21 years). In this study, we try to emphasis the change in visual reaction time with respect to sex, age, and BMI. The statistical analysis shows significant correlation among variables.
