Question

What are the studies/ researches that concludes that females have faster reaction time than males?

Answer 1

There arent any

Whilst the male brain is wired for technical stuff, phillosophy, litteture, survival, arts and that. The female brain is wired for embroydary and kittens..

I hope that helps to explain the current situation.

Answer 2

First, one should keep in mind that reaction time depends on many things other than gender - males may be faster in one experiment but slower in another (ie. reaction time measures are *task-dependent*). That being said, males generally are found to have faster reaction time than females. I'm can't think of a single experiment that has shown the opposite.

Here are some studies showing males are faster than females (possibly look at the citations of these for the alternative):

*the last one shows that while men are faster, women are more accurate

Answer 3

Embroidery my ***... lol Never have touched a single .. ermm embroidering tool. Brain wired for kittens? What? .. Certain studies have shown female reaction time to be a tad slower than that of males but by minute, impreceptable amounts not visible in real time. So guys can shove it.
