Given the increasing size of the older adult population in many countries, there is a pressing
need to identify the nature of aging-related vision impairments, their underlying …

Research on functional changes across the adult lifespan has been dominated by studies
related to cognitive processes. However, it has become evident that a more comprehensive …

Human cerebral cortical function degrades during old age. Much of this change may result
from a degradation of intracortical inhibition during senescence. We used multibarreled …

This review of vision and hearing is com-bined in the present edition of the Handbook,
whereas it was covered in Sep-arate chapters in the first two editions. Accordingly, the …

Human visual function declines with age. Much of this decline is probably mediated by
changes in the central visual pathways. We compared the stimulus selectivity of cells in …

Accurate control of posture, balance, and locomotion through the environment involves a
coordinated set of sensorimotor processes that continually encode and compare information …

The effects of aging on eye movements are well studied in the laboratory. Increased
saccade latencies or decreased smooth-pursuit gain are well established findings. The …

We aimed to address two issues: first, to describe how the perception of motion differs in
elderly observers as compared to younger ones; and, second, to see if these changes in …

Random dot cinematograms were used to probe motion perception in human observers
ranging from 23 to 81years of age. Stimuli were either broadband directional Noise, which …

While the percentage of older people in our society is steadily increasing, knowledge about
perceptual changes during healthy aging is still limited. We investigated age effects on …
