10-13 Yaş Çocuklarda Cinsiyet ve Yaş Tepki Sürelerinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Tepki süresini etkileyen birçok faktör vardır. Yaş ve cinsiyet yanıt süresini etkileyen faktörler arasındadır. Bu çalışma, yaş ve cinsiyeti tepki süresinde etkili faktörler olarak göz önünde bulundurarak 10-13 yaş arası kız ve erkek çocuklarda görsel tepki sürelerini araştırmaktadır. Yetmiş beş erkek (11.67 ± 1.04 yıl) ve 60 kız (11.45 ± 1.02 yıl) gönüllü olarak katıldı. Görsel tepki süreleri Light Trainer cihazı kullanılarak ölçüldü. Katılımcılara, kol uzunluğunda konumlandırılmış sensörlü ışıkları dokunmadan kapatmaları talimatı verildi. Veri analizi için Spss 27.0 paket programı kullanıldı. Yaş grubu karşılaştırmalarında anlamlı farklılıklar gözlendi: 10>12, 10>13, 11>13 ve 12>13 (p<0.05). Ancak, 10-11 ve 11-12 yaşları arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Kızlar arasında 10>11, 10>13 ve 12>13 karşılaştırmalarında anlamlı düşüşler kaydedilirken (p<0.05), 10-12, 11-12 ve 11-13'te herhangi bir fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Erkekler 10>12, 10>13, 11>12 ve 11>13 gruplarında anlamlı derecede daha düşük tepki süreleri gösterirken, 10-11 ve 12-13 arasında fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Cinsiyetler karşılaştırıldığında, 10, 12 ve 13 yaşlarında anlamlı bir fark bulunmazken (p>0.05), 11 yaşındaki kızların yanıt süreleri daha düşüktü (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak, tepki sürelerinin yaşla birlikte genel olarak iyileştiği görüldü. Bu çalışmada on bir yaşındaki kızlar erkek akranlarına kıyasla daha üstün performans sergiledi.

Response Times According to Gender and Age in 10-13 Aged Children

Öz

There are many factors affecting response time. Age and gender are among the factors affecting response time. This study investigates visual response times in boys and girls aged 10-13 years, considering age and gender as influential factors. Seventy-five boys (11.67 ± 1.04 years) and 60 girls (11.45 ± 1.02 years) participated voluntarily. Visual reaction times were measured using the Light Trainer device. Participants were instructed to switch off lights with sensors positioned at arm's length without touching them. Significant differences were observed in age group comparisons: 10<12, 10<13, 11<13 and 12<13 (p<0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the ages 10-11 and 11-12 (p>0.05). Among girls, significant decreases were recorded at 10<11, 10<13 and 12<13 (p<0.05), while no difference was found at 10-12, 11-12 and 11-13 (p>0.05). Males showed significantly lower reaction times in the 10<12, 10<13, 11<12 and 11<13 groups, while no difference was found between 10-11 and 12-13 (p>0.05). When the genders were compared, no significant difference was found between 10, 12 and 13 years old (p>0.05), while 11-year-old girls had lower response times (p<0.05). It was observed that visual response times improved with age. In this study, eleven-year-old girls showed superior performance compared to their peers.
