[Age-associated interactions of sensorimotor and cognitive functions].

: Research on cross-domain couplings between sensorimotor and cognitive functions in older adults has gained momentum during recent years. Results of most studies point to increasing interdependencies between the two functional domains with advancing adult age. The causes of this increase are complex and show dynamic interactions across adult development. This review integrates experimental, correlational, and neurophysiological evidence, with an eye on implications for maintaining an independent and mobile lifestyle in old age.
