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

∙ 13y agoIt is because our corpus collosum gets weaker and can divide the two sides of our brain therefore, with age you have less focus on parts of the brain when you need them. A corpus collosum is a part of the brain that either links the two sides or divides them.

Does your mood affect your reaction time?
yes
Why does fatigue affect reaction time?
yes it does majorly
What is one physiological factor in reaction time?
any one of these: age,reaction time decreases with age gender, males usually has higher reaction rate, body temperature (higher body temperature=higher reaction rate)
How do synapses affect reaction time?
because the chemical message takes a while to diffuse
How is feeling drowsy (sleepy) likely to affect a driver’s reaction time?
One why would you ask sorry not trying to be rude but the reaction time would be late and may not even happen
What time affect the age and experience of a driver?
age and experience affect the reaction time of a driver
How does age affect the ability of drivers?
Younger drivers have less experience but better reaction time.. Older drivers have more experience but less reaction time.
Does age affect human reactions?
Yes, age will affect human reactions. As you get older, your reaction time is slower and it can often not always be easy to make the best decisions.
How Does age affect the reaction rate of humans?
yes
Does sound affect your reaction time?
No it does not
How does fatigue affect reaction time?
Fatigue affects reaction time by making it slower.
How does the amount of time given affect the rate of the enzymatic reaction?
it will increase the time of the chemical reaction
Does eye color affect reaction time?
There is no direct scientific evidence to suggest that eye color directly affects reaction time. Reaction time is more likely influenced by factors such as genetics, age, and cognitive abilities. Any correlation between eye color and reaction time would likely be coincidental rather than causation.
Does insulin affect your reaction time?
Yes!
Does fatigue affect reaction time?
Yes, it does.
Does your mood affect your reaction time?
yes
How does age affect the ability of drivers to drive?
As age of man increases so his reaction times slow.
