Older people seem to be highly susceptible to the distracting effects of irrelevant or interfering visual stimuli. We studied this susceptibility using visual displays in which observers had to localize the position of a face. When a face appeared in isolation, observers of all ages did equally well; when distracting stimuli surrounded the face, older observers alone performed poorly. Brief periods of practice produce substantial and long-lasting improvement in performance.
老年人似乎极易受到无关或干扰性视觉刺激的分散影响。我们使用视觉显示器研究了这种易感性，在显示器中观察者必须定位一张脸的位置。当脸单独出现时，所有年龄段的观察者表现都一样好；当干扰性刺激围绕着脸时，只有老年观察者表现不佳。短暂的练习期能使表现得到显著且持久的改善。
