The Aging Model Human Processor
Paul Verhaeghen · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2013
This chapter provides estimates for both younger and older adults for 15 elementary tasks/processes investigated in this chapter (fixation duration, flicker fusion threshold, gap detection threshold, tapping speed, movement time towards a target, memory scanning, subitizing, counting, mental rotation, feature visual search, conjunction visual search, simple reaction time, choice reaction time, P300, and lexical decision times), as well as the half-life of the iconic and short-term memory store, and the Hicks-Hyman Law. Brinley analyses for these data are available as well. Practice effects were investigated and these effects were found to be largely identical across age groups, regardless of the task.
