ABSTRACT Although some studies described the apparition of a rightward bias of attention with aging, no study has examined if this bias could be explained by modifications based on age in the mechanisms of attention orienting and, specially, in the cueing effects. 48 participants of different ages were tested with a spatial cueing paradigm to assess mechanisms of attention orienting. Our results suggest the appearance of specific difficulties to orient and reorient attention towards the left side of space with aging. These results identified a right attentional anchoring with aging.

视觉注意的老化和定向：随着年龄的增长出现右向注意偏差？

摘要 尽管一些研究描述了随着年龄的增长出现向右的注意力偏差，但没有研究检查这种偏差是否可以通过基于年龄的注意力定向机制的修改来解释，特别是在提示效应中。48 名不同年龄的参与者接受了空间提示范式的测试，以评估注意力导向机制。我们的结果表明，随着年龄的增长，将注意力定向和重新定向到空间的左侧会出现特定的困难。这些结果确定了随着衰老的正确注意力锚定。
