The audiovisual reaction time test.

Effect of premenstrual stress on audiovisual reaction time and audiogram.

A study of weight, auditory reaction time (ART), visual reaction time (VRT) and audiogram was carried out on 105 healthy female subjects between the age of 17-20 years during the premenstrual and post-menstrual phase. A significant increase in weight and prolongation in auditory reaction time (ART) and visual reaction time (VRT) were observed during premenstrual phase. A slight increase in deci...

Testing the effect of audiovisual cues to prominence via a reaction-time experiment

This article discusses a perception experiment to investigate the relation between auditory and visual cues for marking prosodic prominence. The methodology makes use of a reaction-time experiment. For this experiment, recordings of a sentence with 3 accents were systematically manipulated in such a way that auditory and visual markers of prominence were either congruent (occurring on the same ...

Effect of cold pressor test on visual reaction time and auditory reaction time.

Influence of stress (cold) on visual reaction time (VRT) for red, green and yellow colours and auditory reaction time (ART) for high and low pitched sounds was studied in 60 healthy subjects (17-19 years) by digital display response time apparatus. Pain threshold and pain tolerance time were 23.02 +/- 8.11 and 249.35 +/- 64.88 sec. respectively. During the standard cold pressor test (CPT), ther...

Effect of noise stress on some cardiovascular parameters and audiovisual reaction time.

A study of the effect of noise stress on some of the physiological parameters was carried out on healthy male workers of thermal power station (exposed to sound level 90-113 dBA) and compared with age and sex matched healthy controls (exposed to sound level 48-66 dBA). The parameters recorded were heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), galvanic skin resi...
