Sensory, sensorimotor, and cognitive aging are linked, with these connections strengthening in older adults. This suggests shared causes or increased resource competition across domains.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Aging affects sensory, sensorimotor, and cognitive functions.
  • Interactions between these domains are increasingly recognized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review evidence on the relationships among sensory, sensorimotor, and cognitive aging.
  • To explore theoretical explanations for the observed interdependencies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of age-heterogeneous cross-sectional and longitudinal data.
  • Analysis of experimental studies manipulating sensory input or cognitive load.

Main Results:

  • Substantial covariation exists among sensory, sensorimotor, and intellectual abilities, increasing with age.

  • Changes in sensory and intellectual functioning are interrelated.
  • Experimental manipulations disproportionately affect older adults' performance.

    • Conclusions:

    • The intensified links may stem from common causes, increased resource overlap/competition, or both.
    • Future research should integrate experimental and correlational strategies to clarify these relationships.
