A

Adolescence to early adulthood

25
Q

Reaction time peaks in mid 20s and slows down

A

20% during middle adulthood

26
Q

Why do the cutaneous receptors become less precise when we age ?

A

Because the skin becomes dry and less elastic

27
Q

Aging on the somatosensory system

A

Dec. In number of sensory neurons
Dec. In function of remaining sensors
Arthritic changes affect the ability of joint receptors to detect motion

28
Q

A

30%

29
Q

Saccades

Slow smooth eye movements
Allow the eyes to closely follow moving objects
