Subclaims¶

q3 i? Age was negatively associated with hit rate and positively associated with reaction times in the dynamic search task. → Nir Shalev 2024

Nir Shalev, Sage Boettcher & Anna C. Nobre. (2024). Spatiotemporal predictions guide attention throughout the adult lifespan. npj Science of Learning. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-024-00281-3

q3 · i? · causal · r2

GLMM on hit rate in the dynamic search task (N = 300, ages 20-80) printed "Age (β = −0.02; SE = 0.002; z = −8.82; p < 0.001)"; the RT model also showed times slowed with advancing age. The article states age was negatively associated with accuracy and positively with response times.

"Main effects indicated that hit rates for targets improve with predictability and longer interva ls, while they decrease with age"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The accuracy benefit of spatiotemporal predictions does not interact with age across the adult lifespan — related
• Age correlates with detection performance: hits and d′ increase and false alarms decrease with age — reports the opposite
• Predictable targets are detected at higher hit rates than unpredictable targets in dynamic visual search across adulthood — related
• Reaction times are faster for predictable targets, but the RT benefit of prediction diminishes with progressing age — related
