Attentional Control of Multisensory Integration is Preserved in Aging

摘要: We recently explored top-down attention control and multisensory integration in younger adults by manipulating as being visually focused or distributed across the auditory visual senses (Mishra & Gazzaley, 2012). In this study, we showed evidence for improved detection performance under to audiovisual sensory information that contained semantically congruent incongruent stimuli. Here, extend our findings healthy older (60–90 year olds) show behavioral benefits of population on average match those adults, i.e., response times were faster stimuli during relative attention. For stimuli, accuracy was significantly Parallel findings, electrophysiological correlates revealed intact age-invariant modulations reduced neural processing attention, at least high performing adults.
