Age-related cognitive and sensory changes may interfere with task performance and compromise the validity of these tools
Research gap analysis derived from 3 chemistry papers in our local library.
The gap
Age-related cognitive and sensory changes may interfere with task performance and compromise the validity of these tools, yet little is known about how such issues have been addressed or adapted for in empirical studies.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the stated research gap and stated challenges and abstract of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 1976 and 2025, spanning 2 journals. Those papers have been cited 103 times in total.

- Age differences in perceptual style, selective attention, and perceptual-motor reaction time (1978) · Experimental Aging Research · cited 34× · doi
There has been little systematic research in which these variables have been investigated in the same study, and for a number of ages representing the adult life span. The aging literature indicates that ability to efficiently process information from the environment decreases with age, but there is a need for more research on this topic.

The decline in information processing ability with age. The need to investigate age differences in perceptual style, reaction time, and selective attention in the same study. The challenge of maintaining attention with increasing age.
