Study type | Observational |
Older adults demonstrate increased distractibility by task-irrelevant information which contributes to general cognitive impairment. However, it is yet unclear how changes in noradrenergic activity during aging influences attentional control. In the current study, tonic noradrenergic activity will be increased or decreased to investigate its behavioral and neural effects on attentional control.

Primary | Initial eye-movements toward target and distractor shapes measured by an eye-tracker | The oculomotor suppression effect is a lower likelihood that salient display items will be the target of the initial eye movement in a visual search task compared to nonsalient display items. Using an eye-tracker, initial fixations toward the target, salient distractor, and nonsalient distractors will be compared as a measure of attentional control. | Calculated once at the end of the 1 day experiment |
