Attentional capture and aging: Implications for visual search performance and oculomotor control

Article Abstract:

Potential age-relate differences in attentional capture were examined. Response times lengthened for both young and old adults when an onset distractor appeared, and eye scan strategies were also disrupted. Subjects made eye movements to the task-irrelevant onset prior to moving their eyes to the target in around 40% of the trials on which an onset appeared. There were brief fixations close to the onset, indicating parallel programming of a reflexive eye movement to the onset.
