2020, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Regarding the switch cost, results are less clearcut. Many studies have not found any increase of switch cost with age (Eppinger et al., 2007; Kramer et al., 1999; Kray and Lindenberger, 2000; Reimers and Maylor, 2005), but these results are moderated by factors such as the unpredictability of task changes (van Asselen and Ridderinkhof, 2000) and the number of tasks to perform (Kray et al., 2002). Inhibition is broadly impacted by aging.

2019, International Journal of Production EconomicsCitation Excerpt :Reaction time has been measured and tested for the examples in which one or two tasks were repeated (Tun and Lachman, 2008) or in cases of more complex tasks (Miyake et al., 2000; Baddeley, 2002). In all these experiments age-related increase of the response latency across the lifespan has been proved (Reimers and Maylor, 2005, 2006), with significant declines in later adulthood (Kray and Lindenberger, 2000; Kray et al., 2002, 2005). Increasing response latency influences lead time in production and distribution systems.
