Perceptual noise and aging

Perceptual noise and aging Presents evidence pertaining to the hypothesis that aging is characterized by a decrement in the ability to suppress irrelevant stimuli (perceptual noise). Although studies in the various sensory modalities generally support a perceptual noise hypothesis of aging, most of the evidence is marred by serious structural weaknesses. It is concluded that the heuristic value of such a unifying hypothesis seems, however, to justify further investigation aimed at correcting these flaws.
