Abstract

During the healthy ageing process, sensory degeneration typically occurs and often in more than one sensory modality. This can present significant challenges to the well-being and quality of life of older adults. However, it is unclear whether senses decline into impaired functioning in a manner that is independent from each other or that is suggestive of a common, amodal mechanism related to the ageing process.
