Pearson r correlation coefficients between age and each of the nine sensory processing factor scores for the entire sample of 245 subjects ranging in age from 18 to 86 years (middle column) and for just the young and middle-aged subjects (n = 110) ranging in age from 18 to 55 years.

Sensory processing factor	Pearson r (N = 245; ages 18–86 years)	Pearson r (n = 110; ages 18–55 years)
Auditory Temporal Order/Masking	.56	.40
Tactile Temporal Order/Masking	.70	.47
Auditory/Tactile Threshold	.83	.60
Visual Flicker Fusion	.23	–.06 (ns)
Auditory/Visual/Tactile Temporal Order–Location Task	.55	.39
Visual Temporal Order/Masking	.59	.51
Auditory Gap Detection	.33	.23
Tactile Gap Detection	.06 (ns)	–.12 (ns)
Global Sensory Processing	.75	.52

Note. All correlation coefficients are statistically significant (p < .01) unless indicated (ns = not significant).
