Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that in both simple reaction time tasks (where the participant only has to respond to one stimulus) and choice reaction time tasks (where the participant has to choose which stimulus to respond to from multiple stimuli), there is a slowing down of reaction time with advanced age. However, the primary factor behind this slowing down in both types of tasks is the central processing of information, rather than the sensing of presented stimuli or motor muscle responses. Therefore, choice B is the best choice.
