AB - In the matrix of relations between the physiology, anatomy, and behavior of the older nervous system, a particular vantage point is research on the slowness of behavior with age. A review of the evidence indicates that the slowing of behavior with age not only appears in motor responses and sensory processes but becomes more obvious with increasing complexity of behavior. For this reason the expression "slowness of behavior with age" is preferred to the more limited phrase "changes in reaction time with age." While there are probably both general and specific factors in behavioral slowing with age, the organization of a general factor of slowness raises some fundamental questions. Behavioral factors are apparently involved, but more recent emphasis has been placed on the role of neurobiological changes in the central nervous system.
