Spatiotemporal predictions

Spatiotemporal predictions improve visual search performance in humans.

“benefits from predictions occurred in all groups. Interestingly, regardless of age, effects of predictions were only significant during periods of high distraction.”

Spatiotemporal predictions improve response speed in humans.

“When evaluating response speed, predictions were also significant but reduced with progressing age.”

Spatiotemporal predictions improve target detection in humans.

“Nevertheless, prediction-led behaviour, reflected in a higher detection of predictable targets, remained resistant to aging.”
