| summary | Our understanding of functional changes across the adult lifespan is dominated by a focus on specific perceptual, motor, or cognitive capacities. However, there is emerging evidence that emphasizes the complexity of aging processes. Functional interactions that might critically contribute to vulnerability and stability across the lifespan are not well understood. We explore the link between cognitive processes and age-related changes in perception and sensorimotor control. We propose that core mechanisms are remarkably robust during ageing, but are subject to substantial modulation by cognitive control resources. Evidence from a variety of paradigms, covering e.g. visual and tactile perception as well as reaching control and eye movements, suggest that executive control capacities provide a higher-order link, shaping individual performance profiles and explaining functional dynamics. |
