Age simulation suit decreases walking speed in humans.
“the suit resulted in significantly slower gait speed (p < .001)”

Memory performance
no changein humans1
Age simulation suit has no effect on memory performance in humans.
“memory performance did not differ significantly between young adults with and without the age simulation suit (p = .729)”
