Understand the specific stages of information processing
Research gap analysis derived from 3 chemistry papers in our local library.
The gap
There is a need to understand the specific stages of information processing affected by aging. Prior research has not fully examined the effect of aging on stimulus encoding and response selection.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the stated research gap and stated challenges of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 1976 and 1978, spanning 2 journals.
Research trend
Established — well-defined area with open sub-problems.
Supporting evidence — 4 representative gaps
- Age differences in perceptual style, selective attention, and perceptual-motor reaction time (1978) · Experimental Aging Research · 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.
