yes because the brain ages with the body and it takes longer for the brain to process what it is being told but if you keep your brain active this will not effect you as much

Why do kids have a faster reaction time than adults?
It depends on the age of the child and the age of the adult. Reaction time in the normal person peeks around the age of 18 and stays fairly constant through their 20s an until they turn 30 at which point it very slowly decays. It decays more rapidly once the adult gets into their 70's on up. From the time a child is 6 years old to 18 their reaction time is basically getting faster and faster but at 6 years old it is typically quite a bit slower. For a single stimulus the RT's are around 450 ms for a 6 yr old and less than 250 ms for an 18 year old.
Does it affect a certain age group?
no it does not.
How many foot is a human arm?
It depends on the age of the human.
Is it human method for bone age can apply to animal bone?
no
What is the average age of onset for Cerebral amyloid angiopathy?
CAA may affect patients over age 45, but is most common in patients over age 65, and becomes more common with increasing age.
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.
What time affect the age and experience of a driver?
age and experience affect the reaction time of a driver
What are some factors that affect human reaction rates?
Factors that affect human reaction rates include age, physical condition, level of fatigue, state of mind, distractions, and presence of drugs or alcohol. Additionally, the complexity of the task being performed can also impact reaction times.
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.
How Does age affect the reaction rate of humans?
yes
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.
How does age affect the ability of drivers to drive?
As age of man increases so his reaction times slow.
How the progressive era is a reaction of the gilded age?
hello there what are the reactions of 1860's and 1850's time period how did reactions affect the proggsive era?
Does age effect reaction time or not?
no it does'nt
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)
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
How does sex affect death rate?
At any given age, a human male is more likely to die than a human female.
