Abstract

Simple visual and auditory reaction time (RT) was studied in younger (16 to 44 years old) and older (46 to 63 years old) control and brain-diseased patients. Differences in RT related to age were larger for brain-diseased than control patients. Differences in RT related to diagnostic category were larger for older than younger patients. Analysis indicated an interactive effect of age and brain disease on RT supporting the suggestion that acquired brain disease leads to a more pronounced retardation in RT in older patients.

摘要

对年轻（16至44岁）和年长（46至63岁）的对照组以及脑部疾病患者进行了简单视觉和听觉反应时间（RT）的研究。与年龄相关的反应时间差异在脑部疾病患者中比对照组更大。与诊断类别相关的反应时间差异在年长患者中比年轻患者更大。分析表明年龄和脑部疾病对反应时间有交互作用，支持了后天性脑部疾病导致年长患者反应时间更明显延迟的观点。
