Older adults adapt to their slowed response time by
a. Increasing accuracy of the response
b. Avoiding situations that require a quick re-sponse
c. Giving up activities such as driving
d. Using ambulation aids to decrease their chance of falling
A
Studies have shown that older adults compensate for increased reaction time by increasing the accuracy of their responses. Older adults may choose to quit driving, avoid situations that require a quick response, and use ambulation aids (responses B, C, and D), but this is not a general reaction to increased reaction time. Older adults instead complete a task perfectly, drive slowly, and ambulate with care.
