Three studies of aging and spatial cognition are outlined in this proposal. Specifically, these studies are concerned with perceptual differentiation/selection and temporospatial integration, both of which are posited to be important processes in the acquisition and use of spatial knowledge of large-scale environments. Experiments 1 and 2 are designed to (a) compare the performance of elderly adults to that of young adults on tasks requiring these two processes and (b) explore the relationships between these processes and other cognitive abilities as measured by psychometric-based instruments. Experiment 3 deals with the relationship between performance on laboratory tasks involving perceptual differentiation/selection and temporospatial integration and performance on a series of macrospatial tasks in a real-world environment. Findings of the studies should be relevant to theoretical issues in aging and cognition as well as to practical issues concerning mobility and quality of life for elderly adults.

本文概述了三项关于衰老和空间认知的研究 提议。 具体来说，这些研究涉及知觉 分化/选择和时空整合，两者都是 被认为是获取和使用空间的重要过程 对大尺度环境的了解。 实验 1 和 2 的目的是 (a) 比较老年人与年轻人的表现 需要这两个过程的任务以及 (b) 探索其中的关系 这些过程与其他认知能力之间的关系 基于心理测量的仪器。 实验3处理关系 涉及知觉的实验室任务的表现之间 分化/选择和时空整合和性能 现实环境中的一系列宏观空间任务。 调查结果 研究应与衰老和认知的理论问题相关 以及有关流动性和生活质量的实际问题 老年人。
