Visuo-spatial attention in younger and older adults: comparing performance on a series of computer-based tasks

The study provides valuable insights regarding the effect of age on visual attention and demonstrates the high sensitivity and feasibility of using simple computer-based assessments to identify these in unimpaired populations. Data presented here provide a basis for future studies using the same tasks with clinical populations.

Abstract

The study provides valuable insights regarding the effect of age on visual attention and demonstrates the high sensitivity and feasibility of using simple computer-based assessments to identify these in unimpaired populations. Data presented here provide a basis for future studies using the same tasks with clinical populations.
