“…Tasks that present a semantic verbal stimulus or AS (e.g., numbers, letters, or spoken words) are more favorable to women, whereas responses that are more of a spatial or visual nature (e.g., a flashing light on a screen) exhibit a male advantage (21). Men' superiority in visual and spatial abilities is sometimes attributed to differences in cognitive strategies (5,12,14,22); however, others believe that the response differences are associated more with innate processing of verbal and spatial tasks (3,8,15,23,24).…”

“…Outside of athletic performance, some suggest that response time differences are a function of the type of stimuli presented (e.g., visual or auditory) (3,8). Tasks that present a semantic verbal stimulus or AS (e.g., numbers, letters, or spoken words) are more favorable to women, whereas responses that are more of a spatial or visual nature (e.g., a flashing light on a screen) exhibit a male advantage (21).…”

“…In that study, racecar drivers demonstrated a significantly faster response time to visual cuing as compared to controls. Although many investigations on response times to stimuli were conducted, the majority of studies have focused on nonathletic populations (7,8,14,19,26) and investigations in which athletes were tested are few in number (5,9,10,25,30). Even fewer of these studies have been conducted in soccer athletes (25,30) of which none have assessed response time during a sports-specific task.…”

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effect of auditory stimuli (AS) and visual stimuli (VS) on sprint time, sprint speed, and reaction time in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I male soccer players. Fifteen healthy subjects (mean age 22.1 ± 1.6 years) volunteered for the study. This experiment was conducted on a regulation soccer field, using a wireless timing system. Subjects stood on a touch-and-release pad and were instructed a prompt (AS: "go" command via a microphone interface, VS: movement of a player located 10 m from the start) to run 20 m through the finish line timing gates without decelerating. After 3 submaximal sprint trials at 50%, conditions (AS and VS) were randomized and performed 3 times by each subject. The best sprint time, sprint speed, and reaction time were recorded. Paired t-tests were conducted on dependent variables to determine statistically significant differences. An alpha level was set at p ≤ 0.05. Sprint time was reduced in response to VS as compared to AS (3.76 ± 0.16 seconds vs. 3.85 ± 0.15 seconds, p = 0.001). Sprint speed (distance covered) was greater in VS compared to AS (5.3 ± 0.21 m · s vs. 5.1 ± 0.19 m · s, p < 0.001), and reaction time was reduced in VS compared to AS (0.53 ± 0.048 seconds vs. 0.61 ± 0.044 seconds, p = 0.001). These data show that VS rather than AS improve sprint response times in collegiate male soccer athletes. The data suggest that performance on the field may be improved if coaches and players strategize to integrate visual cues (e.g., gestures and signals) during practices and games.

“…Numerous studies have been conducted to assess and potentially explain situational differences in reaction time. Assessments of reactivity have been studied separately for reaction speeds of visual and auditory stimuli in athletes, with faster reaction times resulting from differing stimuli for athletes of various sports (Breen et al, 1969;Hascelik et al, 1989;Baur et al, 2006;Nuri et al, 2013). In soccer players specifically, the tendency for faster visual reactions has been attributed to their dependence on visual cues for specific gameplay (Spierer et al, 2011).…”

This study was conducted to identify whether team-wide or positional differences exist in simple or choice reactivity of collegiate soccer athletes when completed under various loads. Much research exists surrounding the assessment of reaction time in the general population, but given variations in training, little insight exists surrounding how unique and elite populations may differ based upon performance demands and task translatability to training. Reactive performance was assessed using the Dynavision D2 in 24 female soccer players (19.73 ± 1.05 years old) from a team within a power five conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Evaluated loads included two conditions of simple reactivity (no additional load and with a concurrent lower body motor task) and three conditions of choice reactivity (no additional load, with a concurrent lower body motor task, and prolonged durations). Paired t-tests and ANOVAs were used to identify differences in task performance based upon load and positional group. No significant load-based or positional differences existed in measured simple reaction times. Performances in choice reaction tasks across the team were found to be slower when completed across extended durations (p < 0.0001) and faster when completed concurrent with an added balance task (p = 0.0108), as compared to performance under normal conditions. By assessment of positional differences, goalkeepers tended to be slower than other positions in reactivity during choice tasks, despite no differences existing in simple task performance. Given the unique population utilized herein, measured reactivity in different tasks suggests a strong relation to the training demands of soccer, as well as those of goalkeepers as compared to field positions. Findings suggest that sport and positional demands may be substantial contributors to population- and individual-based reactivity performance.

The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate the role of auditory feedback and its impact on movement time in a standard Fitts task. Feedback was given at the moment of target acquisition. A 2-way analysis of variance found significant differences between feedback groups at all three indexes of difficulty (F(2, 40) = 156.02, p < .001). Results from a mixed-model multivariate analysis of variance for kinematic factors show significant differences in peak velocity and the location of peak velocity when comparing feedback groups. In general, the addition of auditory feedback decreased the task ID by .5.
