Age-related similarities in the attentional visual field
… et al., 1988), an effect often interpreted as an age-related constriction of the attentional visual field (AVF). As yet, the mechanisms underlying progressive shrinking of the AVF across lifespan remain unclear. The current work directly gauged workload capacity, C(t), calculated based on response …

Perceptual organization and selective attention: Age-related effects
The research dealing with age-related deficits in driving performance has suggested that changes in visual selective attention are related to changes in driving performance with age. The research reported here seeks to complement past research by investigating age-related changes in facets of …

Computational studies on ageing and age-related diseases
Age is the major risk factor for a variety of non-communicable diseases. As life expectancy increases, ageing poses significant challenges to the individual, society, and healthcare systems. Ageing is a complex process involving multiple interconnected cellular and organismal phenotypes. Thus, …

Predicting Age Related Changes in Mobility and Driving Habits
Older adults encounter many changes as they age, both cognitively and physically. These changes tend to impact one's mobility in terms of driving ability and exposure. It has been well documented that this population is increasing in number (Lyman, Ferguson, Braver, & Williams, 2002) and that they …

Age-related shifts in hemispheric dominance for syntactic processing
Genetic factors related to handedness, such as history of familial sinistrality, have been linked to neuroanatomical and neurophysiological differences in a variety of brain areas, including those associated with language. However, the functional implications of these differences remain unclear. …
