Age-related differences in visual search in dynamic displays

Article Abstract:

The ability of younger and older adults to detect changes in dynamic visual displays was examined by recording accuracy, response times and eye movements. For both younger and older participants, the number of eye movements accounted for a large proportion of variance in transient detection performance, highlighting the importance of individual difference in scanning strategy.

Aging and the strategic control of the fixation offset effect

Article Abstract:

Research was done on potential age-related differences in the strategic control of exogenous and endogenous saccades within the context of the fixation offset effect (FOE, that is faster saccades when a fixation point is removed than when it is left on throughout a trial). In conclusion, the data is examined in terms of aging and oculomotor control.

Influence of stimulus repetition on negative priming

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that both negative priming and identity-based inhibition develop similarly in both young and old adults in tests using repetition of experimental stimuli. These findings suggest the existence of age invariance in the capability of inhibiting task-irrelevant data in one's environment on a stimulus identity basis.
