Abstract

Aim

The present study aimed to see the effect of practice, on Auditory Reaction Time (ART). Reaction is the purposeful voluntary movement to different stimuli. Auditory Reaction Time (ART) is time require to response to auditory stimuli.

Methodology

ART was measured by Inquisit lab (windows) released on in 2016 by millisecond software, Settle. During the ART test after variable time intervals the sound is placed for 30s to the participant through the speakers and subject has task to press the prescribed key as sound is played. All subjects were thoroughly acquainted with procedure. All subjects were analyzed before and after practice of task to know Auditory Reaction Time (ART). Reaction time was measured in two sessions. First include without practice of task and second was measured after practice of task. Result was statistically analyzed and recorded as Mean S.D. Student T-test was applied to check level of significance.

Result and Conclusion

In present study we found the ART was earlier and less after the practice of task. ART is decreased with practice. In daily life speed of reaction plays a large part to stay secure. Practice of ART is helpful for players, sportsmen, driving etc. it is helpful in protection of our body by responding from any harm.
