Abstract
Reaction time has physiological significance and is a simple and non – invasive test for peripheral as well
as central neural structures. And the reaction time is influenced by different factors.
The purpose of this study was to find out whether the reaction time was faster for high pitch auditory or low
pitch auditory stimulus. In this study auditory reaction time (ART) was studied in 125 male & 125 female
medical students in the age group of 17-20 years. Subjects were presented with two auditory stimuli i.e.
High & Low pitch sound stimuli. Paired and unpaired ‘t’ test was used at appropriate places as a statistical
test. The p value <0.05 was considered significant.
The reaction time to low pitch sound stimuli was significantly lower than to high pitch sound stimuli in both
sexes.
Auditory reaction time in females was significantly higher compared to males
