Abstract

Age-related differences in adult sensory and perceptual function are reviewed for vision, hearing, taste and smell, using laboratory-based research as well as clinical, survey and field studies. In each area, ergonomic interventions aimed at optimizing the performance of older adults are explored. These optimization strategies include modifications to the environment, person and task design. Future research needs are also identified and discussed.
