On the validity and consistency of misjudgment of stepping ability in young and older adults
Disparities between perceived and actual physical abilities have been shown in older adults and may lead to balance loss or falls. However, it is unclear whether one's misjudgment is an inherent trait and thus consistent across different tasks, and whether this misjudgment is age-related. We measured the degree of misjudgment in young and older adults on four different stepping tasks; stepping ...
متن کاملImpaired Reactive Stepping Adjustments in Older Adults
BACKGROUND The ability to redirect the path of the foot during walking is critical for responding to perturbations and maintaining upright stability. The purpose of the current study was to compare mechanisms of reactive stepping adjustments in young versus older adults when responding to an unexpected perturbation during voluntary step initiation. METHODS We tested 13 healthy community-dwell...
متن کاملSerotonergic and cholinergic modulation of functional brain connectivity: A comparison between young and older adults
Aging is accompanied by changes in neurotransmission. To advance our understanding of how aging modifies specific neural circuitries, we examined serotonergic and cholinergic stimulation with resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) in young and older adults. The instant response to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram (30 mg) and the acetylcholinesterase i...
متن کاملModulation of Prepulse Inhibition and Startle Reflex by Emotions: A Comparison between Young and Older Adults
This study examined whether or not the acoustic startle response and sensorimotor gating may be modulated by emotions differentially between young and older adults. Two groups of participants (mean age Young: 24 years old; Elderly: 63.6 years old) were presented with three types of auditory stimuli (Startle alone, High or Low frequency Prepulse) while viewing pleasant, neutral, or unpleasant im...
متن کاملA Comparison of Navigation Performances between Older and Young Adults in Hypermedia E-Mall Shopping
To facilitate equal access to online shopping for all users, the present study examined if agerelated differences in E-mall navigation exist as a function of web presentation media and web structure. 14 older adults and 14 college students participated in an experiment where E-mall shopping navigation was evaluated in terms of the number of pages repeated visited, and retention accuracy. Two ex...
