AGE AND BEHAVIOR: SLOW RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULATION – SPEED OD NERVE CONDUTION - LENGTH OF NEUROMUSCULAR PATHWAY
If the slowing of responses with age is not attributable to input factors, may it be attributed to peripheral neuromuscular factors? If so, then older people should be slower than younger people to the extent that such factors are involved in the measurement of response speed. To investigate systematically the role of neuromuscular pathway, RT was measured for each of three response modalities, each different in effector length (Birren and Botwinick, 1955). The long pathway should make for slower RT than the short pathway to the extent that their lengths are different, and to the extent that the speed of neural conduction via these pathways contributes to RT. Comparison between young and old subjects of such differences in RT due to pathway length could tell something of the contribution of these peripheral mechanisms to the slowing in later life. RTs for the foot (longest pathway), jaw (shortest), and finger of the hand (middle length) were measured in men aged 18-36 and 61-91 years. For a confirmation of the hypothesis that the slower RTs of the old are attributable to conduction speeds of peripheral neuromuscular pathways, the RTs of the old would have to be increasingly slower than those of the young as we go from jaw to finger to foot. The results of this experiment provided no support for the hypothesis: The magnitude of difference in RT between old and young was essentially the same for each of the three response modes. Thus, the neuromuscular transmission speeds were not seen to explain the overall age difference in RT. Two points make this conclusion less certain. First, this study reported a negative result, i.e., no difference with age due to pathway length. An inference regarding central nervous system functioning is implicit from this, but it is a dubious practice to draw positive conclusions from negative results. From studies to be discussed shortly, even when reporting positive results regarding peripheral mechanisms, inferences of central functioning are also drawn. While this may be the best that could be done at present, it is still a dubious practice, and such inferences may best be kept tentative. Second, while the RT study showed no contribution to the slowing with age of the length of the pathway, the actual results were not in accord with expectations. The RT of the jaw was longer than that of the finger. The shorter pathway of the jaw should have resulted in quicker RTs. This result was attributed to details of the procedure of measurement with the indication that, while these prohibit comparisons between the modes of response, they do not prohibit comparisons between age groups with respect to the modes. *218\220\8*
