Capture cost in Older and Younger adults. Using an index of capture cost for relevant capture (solid lines) and irrelevant capture (dotted lines), both older adults (black lines) and younger adults (grey lines) are equally captured by relevant distracters at the shortest SOA of 50ms. However, older adults exhibited a prolonged capture cost for relevant distracters differentiating the age groups at 250ms (* p = 0.0001). No group differences were found at any SOA for irrelevant capture costs (all p>0.05).
