Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Age-related changes in speed of processing are not uniform across different types of tasks and situations. Some tasks may be more challenging than others and therefore result in slower processing speed, while others may not be as affected. Therefore, the speed of processing changes are dependent upon what adults are being asked to do.
