The Relative Contribution of Executive Functions and Aging on Attentional Control During Road Crossing [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 As we age, many physical, perceptual and cognitive abilities decline, which can critically impact our day-to-day lives. However, the decline of many abilities is concurrent; thus, it is challenging to disentangle the relative contributions of different ...
