Relationship of hand-eye reaction time with stereopsis in 15-19-year-old adolescents

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between hand-eye reaction time and stereopsis in adolescents aged 15-19. A total of 150 participants (70 males, 80 females) with an average age of 16.76±1.21 years participated in the study. First, hand-eye reaction time measurements were taken from the participants. Then, the stereo fly test was performed, and stereopsis values were recorded. A statistically positive and moderately significant relationship was detected between hand-eye reaction time and stereopsis. A statistically positive and moderately significant relationship was found between hand-eye reaction time and stereopsis in adolescent males. There was a statistically positive and low significant relationship between hand-eye reaction time and stereopsis in adolescent females. In conclusion, this study examined the relationship between hand-eye reaction time and stereopsis in adolescents aged 15-19 years and revealed that there is a link. These results support that depth perception plays a role in adolescents’ motor skills and performance in daily activities.
