Selective Age Effects on Visual Attention and Motor Attention during a Cued Saccade Task
Figure 2
Effects of task condition and age on performance. (a) Both younger and older participants made more target selection errors in the hard condition compared to the easy condition. The older participants also made more target selection errors than their younger counterparts. (b) Mean magnitude of the saccade endpoint accuracy error relative to the target location. (c) Reaction time. Both main effects of condition and age were significantly different with no significant interaction present. (d) Older participants made significantly more visual perception errors (misses and false positives) than the younger participants in both conditions (represented along -axis). All data are presented as mean ± SEM.
