Metal is a good conductor of heat. Wood is not a good conductor of heat, although I wouldn't exactly call it an insulator of heat either. If you put a wooden spoon halfway into a pot of hot water, the dry part of the spoon will not get hot even though the wet half will be as hot as the water is, if you leave it in for a while. But if you heat up a wooden spoon and keep it dry, let's say by leaving it on a baking sheet and baking it in the oven along with some cookies, you may be able to grab the spoon and pick it up even though it's hot. There's no way you could do that with a metal spoon because you'd "feel" the heat more with metal. The heat would be conducted from the metal spoon to your skin, but a wooden spoon won't conduct much heat to you.
The wooden spoon will not be a conduct heat, or in other words, the heat will not affect this type of material. The metal spoon is a good conductor of heat and therefore, the heat will travel up the spoon and most likely burn your hand. And lastly, the plastic spoon, will not burn your hand but is a not good enough material to stir hot food in so it will most likely melt
The metal spoon will cool faster because it has a lower heat capacity. After several hours they both will feel the same.
Practically speaking a metal chair is a lot better for an overweight person than a wooden one because metal chairs is more able to support the overweight person than a wooden one.
A wooden spoon would be best because it won't get hot.

because wood does not conduct heat if you used a metal spoon it would heat up and burn you if you use plastic it would melt.
Thanks to lifehacker.com: " If it starts to boil up too high, the spoon will pop the bubbles and keep it from boiling over as quickly, meaning you have more time to get back and turn the heat down. Note that this could warp a wooden spoon, so do it with a utensil you don't want as much. Alternatively, you could use something metal, but you'd have to remove it with an oven mitt because it will become very hot"
