It depends on the age of the child and the age of the adult. Reaction time in the normal person peeks around the age of 18 and stays fairly constant through their 20s an until they turn 30 at which point it very slowly decays. It decays more rapidly once the adult gets into their 70's on up. From the time a child is 6 years old to 18 their reaction time is basically getting faster and faster but at 6 years old it is typically quite a bit slower. For a single stimulus the RT's are around 450 ms for a 6 yr old and less than 250 ms for an 18 year old. Of course all of these things can be affected with cognitive disorders or attention disorders like ADD and ADHD but this is the typical trend.
