- Reaction and Movement Time as a Function of age and Physical Activity Level (1975) · Journal of Gerontology · cited 225× · doi
The study identifies a gap in the understanding of the effect of age and physical activity level on reaction and movement time in men. The study aims to fill this gap by comparing the performance of four groups: older active sportsmen, older nonactive men, young active sportsmen, and young nonactive men.

The conventional interpretation of simple reaction time experiments assumes that subjects cannot readily depart from a preestablished plan. This assumption is challenged by the Deadline model. There is a need for more realistic approaches to dealing with anticipation responses.

Future research could involve studying the effect of varying fore-periods on reaction time in different populations. Further research could also involve exploring the neural mechanisms underlying the effect of varying fore-periods on reaction time.

The study identifies a gap in the understanding of the locus of change in reaction time due to set, motivation, and age. The study notes that prior work has not fully assessed the effect of different stimulus intensities on the comparative old-young RT.

The lack of understanding of the complex relationship between dominance and reaction time. The need to examine the effects of dominance on reaction times to visual stimuli. The need to understand the sources of asymmetry in responses made in a bilaterally symmetrical stimulus-response situation.

Further research is needed to investigate the effects of age on reaction time in various contexts. The study highlights the need to consider the effects of age on reaction time in tasks that require rapid responses. Future research should examine the relationship between age and reaction time using different methods and stimuli.
