Selective Age Effects on Visual Attention and Motor Attention during a Cued Saccade Task.

Objective. Visual information is often used to guide purposeful movement. However, older adults have impaired responses to visual information, leading to increased risk for injuries and potential loss of independence.

Relations among visual strategies, force fluctuations, and attention during a force-matching task.

Greater understanding of how people use visual information to minimize force fluctuations provides critical insight into visuomotor processing. Visual strategies were examined during a force-matching task with different feedback displays. When only vertical feedback was provided, young healthy participants (N = 20, 9 men) fixated their gaze centrally.
