Summarize the findings concerning age-related changes in divided attention.
What will be an ideal response?
Divided attention is concerned with how well people can perform more than one task at the same time. It is widely believed that older adults have more trouble than younger adults with divided attention. However, it appears that the age differences are due to older adult's difficulties with individual tasks, not dividing their attention across the tasks per se. Observational studies reveal that older workers are just as able to multitask, but they perform each task slightly slower than younger workers.There is one caveat. When the tasks become complex, older adults do have more trouble dividing their attention and, as a result, their performance suffers.
