The auditory superiority in RT is well-documented and attributed to faster cochlear transduction and shorter pathway length from ear to motor cortex versus eye to motor cortex. Auditory RT is used in clinical settings to assess brainstem integrity.
What does the Audio Reaction Time test measure?
Audio Reaction Time measures how fast you respond to a sound stimulus. Auditory reactions are typically 20–40ms faster than visual reactions because the auditory pathway to the motor cortex has fewer synaptic relays. The average auditory RT is around 160–200ms versus 230–270ms for visual. Use headphones for best results.
How to improve your Audio Reaction Time score
- → Use wired headphones - Bluetooth introduces 30–100ms of latency that inflates your score.
- → Keep your volume at a comfortable level - sounds that are too quiet or too loud both slow reactions.
- → Do warm-up clicks before your scored attempt to eliminate cold-start latency.
- → Compare your audio RT to your visual RT - a difference >60ms may indicate one modality has hardware latency.
