Human reaction time denotes time taken by an individual to react to an external stimulus. The response obtained while measuring human reaction time is voluntary response obtained after training and is specific in nature. The purpose of this study was to find out whether the reaction time was faster for green light stimuli or red-light stimuli. And to compare the visual human reaction times in males and females. Reaction is a purposeful voluntary response to stimulus. The time interval between presentation of stimulus and getting a appropriate voluntary motor response is a reaction time. It measures for alertness and processing speed of CNS which gets influenced with age, gender, physical activity and IQ of a subject. Different studies were conducted worldwide among different individuals have reported the prevalence of stress ranging from 27% to 73%. Different stress acts as an acute stressor which affects cognitive functions. It is found that the stress elicits elevated activity in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and increased release of cortisol. The study was planned to investigate gender difference. Choice reaction time (CRT) was used to evaluate the cognitive performance of digital reaction time. Randomly occurring visual tasks was presented. The readings was analyzed.
