What is the typical developmental progression of psychomotor speed in mid to
later life? In what ways can this progression be changed, and what implications
does it have for the real-life event of driving?

Psychomotor speed is the speed at which a person can make a specific response. In general, people slow down as they get older. They take longer to respond, especially when they are responding to ambiguous stimuli. Exercise can be helpful in mediating the effects of cognitive aging.

However, there may be some intentionality of why old people choose to do things slower, unrelated to their declining psychomotor speed. In the context of driving, more factors besides age or medical condition should be considered.

Scientists look at one's Useful Field of View, which is how well someone can extract visual information in a single glance without turning their head or moving their eyes. Performance on this UFOV test predicts driving performance. There is also the AAA Roadside Review, which assesses key functional areas in the effort to get states to have more uniform standards.

Overall, older people might drive more cautiously not because they have bad psychomotor speed but because they are being more intentional and careful with their movements and are in less of a rush.

Hope this helps! :) <3

idk if you found them already or not but you probably did but the one closer to sea level is raleigh.

b because thats the naswer i got
