Why might there be differences in reaction time between auditory and visual cues?

Simple reaction time studies show that RT to auditory stimuli is faster than visual stimuli. This is because the sensory process for light is more neurologically complex than for auditory cues. For light to be processed, it has a longer path to take in the brain, going all the way to the back of the brain to the occipital lobe and then back to the eyes. Auditory stimuli is processed in the ear then sent to the temporal lobe and back to the ear; a relatively shorter distance than the vision pathway. Reaction time to auditory cues in normal, healthy subjects is roughly 180 milliseconds for auditory cues and about 220 milliseconds.
