minus-squareDisOne@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up9·27 days agoNear the bottom of this article it mentions that WFD isn’t the thing, but instead reaction time. Either way this does require an expert opinion
minus-squareforrgott@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·27 days agoThat sounds like an important distinction; I appreciate it. I am kinda assuming the actual study has valid use; I think I probably just found the way it was described off-putting. But yeah, expert opinion would definitely help here. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
minus-squarecatty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-224 days agoReaction time in what sense? I read some of it, and it states that slower reactions are part of the normal ageing process as well!
minus-squareDisOne@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·24 days agoBasically they’re seeing slower speech overall: “Instead, overall reaction time – the raw speed of pulling any word – stood out as the best indicator. The finding nudged attention back toward general processing speed.”
