“…When performing other simple auditory-visual detection and discrimination tasks, healthy older adults have been shown to exhibit heightened sensory integration demonstrated by, for instance, proportionally faster response times in bimodal than in unimodal stimulus presentations than do younger adults (Diederich & Colonius, 2004;Laurienti, Burdette, Maldjian, & Wallace, 2006;Mozolic, Hugenschmidt, Peiffer, & Laurienti, 2012). These age-related differences in multisensory integration may, however, depend on the nature and complexity of the task and the types of sensory inputs available (e.g., Freiherr, Lundström, Habel, & Reetz, 2013;McGovern, Roudaia, Stapleton, McGinnity, & Newell, 2014).…”
