The objective of the study was to determine which age-related changes in sensation and cognition are associated with age-related changes in the ability to monitor the environment. To that end, a proxy measure of the ability to monitor the environment (useful field of view, UFOV) and measures of sensation and cognition were collected from young adult (N = 61) and older adult subjects (N = 79). Although UFOV performance was expected to be mediated primarily by cognition rather than by sensation, it was somewhat unexpected to find no reliable associations between UFOV and sensory functioning beyond those of age and cognition.
该研究的目的是确定感觉和认知方面与年龄相关的变化中，哪些与监测环境能力的年龄相关变化有关。为此，从年轻成年人（N = 61）和老年人（N = 79）中收集了监测环境能力的替代指标（有用视野，UFOV）以及感觉和认知指标。尽管预计UFOV表现主要由认知而非感觉介导，但发现UFOV与感觉功能之间除了年龄和认知之外没有可靠的关联，这有点出乎意料。
