Why does age affect reaction time?
It depends on the type of task you are doing. As you get older your muscle movement part of reaction time gets slower but your initial reaction time i.e. the brain acknowledging, the visual and deciding what to do is the same as younger individuals. Reaction time shortens from infancy into the late 20s. Then reaction time slowly increases from 50s and 60s. The Reaction time lengthens faster as the person gets into their 70s. Hope this helps :D
