“…Compared to young adults, older adults exhibit wider temporal discrimination thresholds (e.g., Humes et al, 2009) and more robust integration of cross-sensory events over long temporal intervals (Hirst, McGovern, et al, 2020;McGovern et al, 2014McGovern et al, , 2022Setti et al, 2011). Furthermore, performance on temporal processing tasks can depend on participant sex, whereby males can exhibit increased temporal sensitivity compared to females (Abramov et al, 2012;Arseno et al, 2016;Claypoole & Christopher Brill, 2019;Fink et al, 2005;Geffen et al, 2000;Rammsayer & Lustnauer, 1989;Rammsayer & Troche, 2010;Szymaszek et al, 2006;Wittmann & Szelag, 2003). Hernández et al (2019) previously reported a sex difference among older adults, drawn from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), in susceptibility to the sound induced flash illusion, SIFI (Shams et al, 2000(Shams et al, , 2002 which gauges the precision of temporal multisensory integration.…”
