Age-related changes in orienting attention in time.
Temporal cues guide attentional resources toward relevant points in time, resulting in optimized behavioral performance. Although deficits in aspects of attention have been documented in older adults, it remains unknown whether the critical ability to orient attention in time is affected by normal aging. To address this, younger and older adults participated in a temporally cued target-response...
متن کاملAge-related changes and the attention network task: an examination of alerting, orienting, and executive function.
The effects of aging on alerting, orienting, and executive function were examined with the use of the Attention Network Task, which combines the Posner spatial cuing task and the Eriksen flanker task into a single procedure. We found that older adults showed significantly less alerting than young adults in response to a warning cue, although there were no age differences in orienting or executi...
متن کاملEvidence for age-related changes to temporal attention and memory from the choice time production task.
The effect of aging on interval timing was examined using a choice time production task, which required participants to choose a key response based on the location of the stimulus, but to delay responding until after a learned time interval. Experiment 1 varied attentional demands of the response choice portion of the task by varying difficulty of stimulus-response mapping. Choice difficulty af...
متن کاملAge-related changes and gender differences in time estimation.
A study was carried out in which age and gender differences were studied in the performance of an empty interval production task. The duration of these intervals was 10 s, 1 and 5 min. The sample was made up of 140 subjects, half male and half female, in seven different age groups from 8 to 70 years old. The age range permitted us to identify when differences begin to be significant. The result...
متن کاملCerebral mechanisms underlying orienting of attention towards auditory frequency changes.
Brain mechanisms underlying detection of auditory frequency changes were studied with event-related potentials (ERPs) in 14 human subjects discriminating visual stimuli. Scalp-current density mapping revealed bilateral components of mismatch negativity (MMN) in frontal and auditory cortices. Deviance-related activations in frontal and temporal cortex began to be significant at 94 ms and 154 ms ...
