Task specificity in age-related slowing: word production versus conceptual comparison.
We analyzed age-related slowing in 29 younger (M = 22 years) and 30 older adults (M = 70 years) who performed a conceptual comparison task, a naming task, and a simple reaction time task. Both vocal and manual responses were elicited in all except the naming task. Results did not support the hypothesis that there is greater age-related slowing in comparison tasks than in production tasks. In co...

متن کاملAge-related slowing of response selection and production in a visual choice reaction time task
Aging is associated with delayed processing in choice reaction time (CRT) tasks, but the processing stages most impacted by aging have not been clearly identified. Here, we analyzed CRT latencies in a computerized serial visual feature-conjunction task. Participants responded to a target letter (probability 40%) by pressing one mouse button, and responded to distractor letters differing either ...
متن کاملAge-related slowing of control processes: evidence from a response coordination task.
Normal aging is associated with slowing of performance mostly due to a slowed functioning of central response-related processes. In this paper we set out to discover whether slowing occurs also when the process controlling the coordination of responses is engaged by the task. To this end, we compared the mean-reaction time performance of two groups of subjects (young vs. elderly) in single- and...
متن کاملAge-related slowing: perceptuomotor, decision, or attention decline?
Age-related slowing is well documented but its origin remains unclear. A first validation study (Study 1) performed in 46 participants examined the effect of attention allocation (manipulated through a dual task) on various portions of individual simple reaction time (SRT) distribution (minimum, centile 5, centile 50, and centile 95 RTs). It showed that attention 'deprivation' due to a secondar...
